ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a device for securing a receptacle housing, positioned at the end of a cable, in an opening of a wall. The receptacle housing and the opening have a generally rectangular cross-sectional area and can be connected with each other in at least two positions, offset by 90.degree. from each other. The receptacle housing has detent springs which engage with the wall, from behind. A securing strap is fixed on the cable which is connected to the receptacle housing. The other end of the securing strap is connected to a cover. The cover can be mounted on the contact side of the receptacle housing. The cover can be guided through a groove-shaped recess while the securing strap is pushed through a side wall of the opening. The alignment between receptacle and opening, without impairment of the passage of the securing strap, is achieved in that the opening of the wall only has recesses for the securing strap of the cover in two side walls, located at right angles to each other. The two side walls determine a vertical and a horizontal routing of the cable to the receptacle housing.
