ABSTRACT:
An assembly for use in coupling a flexible conduit or electrical cable to an electrical connector when the assembly and the connector must be clocked due to the fact that the conduit or cable cannot be twisted or rotated about its central axis. The assembly includes an adapter body adapted to be coupled to the conduit or cable and a nut rotatably mounted on an adjacent end of the body, the nut having threads for coupling the body to a connector to complete the assembly. The connector is adapted to be coupled to a panel-mounted connector or to a connector coupled to a second conduit or electrical cable. The body has a clocking ring rotatably mounted within one end of the body, the ring being held against axial removal from the body and being rotatable through a limited arc. The two connectors can readily mate with each other by merely rotating the clocking ring until proper clocking alignment is assured. The clocking ring thereby permits a predetermined rotational tolerance while avoiding the need to rotate the conduit or cable which would damage or destroy the electrical wire leads in the conduit or cable.
