ABSTRACT:
A cable connector is used with either a thin walled internally mounted electrical work box or a thicker-walled externally mounted electrical work box having threaded holes. The cable connector has a central plate between oppositely extending noses, including at least one of a snap-fit, rounded protruding nose and a nose having external threads which are engageable with threads in the access holes of external boxes, or a pair of opposite threaded front and rear sections. Optionally one or more annular grooves are adjacent to the central ridge. The cable connector is squeezed slightly to start the thread engagement from the outside of an external type electrical work box. It is then turned to engage and tighten in place.
