ABSTRACT:
A two-piece pay-out tube is secured through an outlet opening of a cable box such that cable being fed from the box can be threaded through the assembled pay-out tube. One piece of the pay-out tube includes an elongated tube having an inner flange. This tube is designed to be inserted into the opening within the cable box from inside the box such that the inner flange abuts against the inside wall of the cable box. A second piece, referred to as a locking collar, is designed to be snapped into engagement with the inner flange from outside of the box. In particular, the locking collar includes a plurality of locking tabs that project from the outside of the box, through the opening within the box, and into engagement with the inner flange resulting in a locking relationship between the inner flange and its associated elongated tube and the locking collar.
