Abstract:
1. A method for inhibiting rotational movement of a nut of a first cable connector that is threadingly engaged with a mating second cable connector, the nut having at least one recess in its outer surface, and being rotatably mounted on a fixed housing of said first cable connector, said method comprising the steps of: aligning a component comprising at least one first element, with the fixed housing of said first cable connector, such that the at least one first element is aligned radially relative to the fixed housing with at least one corresponding second element positioned on the fixed housing, wherein one of the at least one first element and at least one corresponding second element is configured to be inserted into the other element; removably securing the component to at least a portion of the fixed housing, by inserting one of the at least one first and corresponding second element into the other element; and matingly engaging said component with the at least one recess on the nut via a projection rigidly mounted on said component, wherein matingly engaging said component with the at least one recess on the nut further comprises inserting said projection into the at least one recess on the nut, said projection having a width generally equal to a width of the at least one recess on the outer surface of the nut, thereby securing said nut to said component and to said housing.
