Abstract:
1. A connector for introducing an armored cable into a wiring box, comprising: a hollow body; a first biasing component coupled to the hollow body and operative to press against an inner face of a wall of the wiring box in an installed state of the connector, the first biasing component being configured with a plurality of angularly spaced-apart lugs extending transversely to a longitudinal axis of the hollow body through a front end thereof and each operative to exert the force against the inner face of the wall of the wiring box in the installed state of the connector; and a second biasing component coupled to the body at a distance from the first biasing component and operative to press against an outer face of the wall in the installed state of the connector, the first and second biasing components generating respective oppositely-directed forces directed against the wall of the wiring box and minimizing voluntary disengagement of the connector from the wiring box.
