ABSTRACT:
An electrical junction box assembly for accommodating an electrical cable inserted therein. The assembly includes a junction box and a cable clamp. The junction box includes a back wall and a side wall which perimetrically extends from the back wall to define an open end opposite the back wall. The junction box further includes a cable entry opening in the side wall for permitting insertion of the cable thereinto. The back wall further includes a cable clamp mount positioned adjacent the cable entry opening. The cable clamp mount has a clamp insertion surface positioned substantially orthogonal to the cable entry opening. The clamp insertion surface defines a cable clamp insertion aperture into which the cable clamp is manually removably insertable. The cable clamp includes a deflectable cable engagement arm spaced adjacent from the cable entry opening of the side wall of the junction box. The deflectable cable engagement arm resiliently supports the cable inserted through the cable entry opening against that side wall of the box defining the cable entry opening through which the cable is inserted.
