ABSTRACT:
A protective hood for a cable connector plug is made of a one-piece molded plastic construction. At its forward end the hood includes a resilient tab which snaps into locked relationship with the plug as the hood is slidably assembled to the plug, and at its opposite end the hood can be securely connected to the cable, regardless of the cable diameter, by a self-locking cable tie. The cable is secured to the hood by flexing a pair of integral spaced guide elements projecting laterally from an upper rearward extension of the hood, to position an integral pressure pad beneath the cable jacket, whereafter the cable tie is inserted through an eyelet molded in a top portion of the hood extension. Utilizing the hood portion defining the eyelet as a stop for a head of the cable tie, the tie then is tightened between the guide elements to cause the pressure pad to grip the cable jacket against the upper rearward extension of the hood.
