ABSTRACT:
A lockout device for enclosing and inhibiting unauthorized access to an electrical connector attached to an electrical cable has first and second identical joinable shell portions each with a concave interior so that when the shell portions are joined the interiors define a cavity for receiving an electrical connector. Each shell portion has a hinge pin and a hinge clevis for connection to a hinge clevis and a hinge pin, respectively, on the other shell portion to pivotally join the shell portions so that they are pivotable between open and closed positions. Male and female latch members engageable with similar members on the other shell portion are provided to hold the shell portions in the closed position. Arcuate recesses at opposite ends of the said shell portions form a circular opening, when the portions are joined, to permit a cable attached to the connector contained in the cavity to extend out of the housing.
