     BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     1) Field of the Invention 
     The invention relates to an apparatus for reinforcing wire and cable connections. 
     2) Description of Related Art 
     In construction, manufacturing facilities, and several other industries devices and methods of connecting electrical wires and connectors are directly connected with safety and liability. Rotate and twist wire connectors are used throughout many industries that require the installation of simple or complex wiring in a facility. The twist on connectors typically contain an insulating enclosure typically made from plastics. The enclosure is designed to be gripped easily and to make connections between two wires as seamless and quick as possible. The interior of the enclosure is fitted with a spring or metal piece which helps to tightly join the connections together inside of the enclosure. Enclosures are normally designed to be conical in shape with an open end that tapers down to a closed end. Another example of the prior art are crimp connectors which require the user to apply pressure to a metal crimp that crushes the wires and thus hold the wires in place. 
     The prior art also contains tools for twisting and cutting wires. Some of the tools in the prior art are primarily used to install wire nuts or connectors that serve to insulate, connect, and hold wires together. 
     The main issue seen in the prior art is that the wires can sometimes become loose from improper installation, vibration, or movement and fall out of the enclosure. If a user does not rotate a wire nut or connector for instance with adequate amount of turns then the wires may not be joined tightly enough. This can cause the wires to become loose or fall out of the wire nut or connector when subjected to stress. This exposes the wires to other electrical connections which increase safety and fire hazard concerns. As a result, several jurisdictions have banned twist on wire nuts or connectors from being used in residential and commercial facilities for concerns of safety and exposure of conductive connections. Another issue with the prior art and current available electrical connectors for joining wires is the use of crimp designs, if the crimp is not applied with enough pressure, the wires may also fall out. This also exposes wires which pose a safety and liability concern for installers. Additionally, tools designed to install wire nuts burden users with an additional and unnecessary cost, and also if used improperly can cause the wires to fall out of the insulating enclosure and thereby increase safety concerns. 
     Therefore, what is needed in the art is a better device or apparatus that can be used to prevent the wires from falling out of the insulating enclosure or electrical connectors such as wire nuts, connector or crimp, without increasing the time needed to join electrical wires to form a connection. 
     BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION 
     The instant invention in one form is directed to an apparatus that prevents electrical wiring or connections in general from falling out of or becoming loose in connectors such as wire nuts, crimp connectors and other forms of cable or wiring connections which increases the reliability of the connector and also increases the safety of the connector. Typical connectors include wire to wire connectors such as wire nut, twist connectors, connector, crimp connectors, metal casing, ceramic connectors, screw connectors. 
     This means there is a need for a technological solution providing a tool that improves the functionality and reliability of cable or wiring connectors. The present invention is directed toward solutions to address this need, in addition to having other desirable characteristics. Specifically, there is a need for an easily manufactured and usable solution that not only joins two or more wires or cables together with minimal physical effort but also prevents the wires from becoming loose or split apart from the fastening mechanism thereby maximizing the reliability and safety of the connector. 
     An advantage of the present invention is that it prevents wiring or cabling from coming loose or being pulled apart by providing the user with a easy to use clamping mechanism which improves the safety and reliability of the connector to join two or more wires together. The instant invention is used in conjunction with the existing connectors to improve the reliability of a connection. 
     Another advantage of the present solution is a cinching adapter for securing at least one wire to at least one connector and the at least one connector having an inner surface and an outer surface. At least one wire is in communication with the inner surface of the at least one connector and the cinching adapter is removably attached to the outer surface of the at least one connector and the cinching connector is removable attached to the at least one wire with a flexible cinching device. 
     Another advantage of the instant invention is a wiring connector comprising of a cinching adapter for securing at least one wire to at least one connector and the at least one connector having an inner surface and an outer surface. The at least one wire is in communication with the inner surface of the at least one connector and the cinching adapter is removably attached to the cinching connector is removable attached to the at least one wire with a flexible cinching device. 
     Another advantage of the instant invention is the ability to provide strain relief for fiber-optic connections. 
     Another advantage of the instant solution is a cinching adapter for securing at least one wire to at least one connector and the at least one connector having an inner surface and an outer surface. At least one wire is in communication with the inner surface of the at least one connector and the cinching adapter is removably attached to the outer surface of the at least one connector such that the cinching adapter forms a cover over at least a portion to the at least one connector outer surface and covers the at least one wire proximal to the at least one connector and the cinching connector is removable attached to the at least one wire with a flexible cinching device such that the cinching adapter forms a cover over at least a portion of at least one connector and covers at least one wire proximal to the at least one connector. 
     Another advantage it that the parts can be assembly into a kit. This makes the installation simple and easy for the user because the parts necessary to connect the wires together using the instant invention are in one simple to use package.

Therefore there is a need for a low cost easy to use device that can be used in conjunction with the existing connectors to improve the reliability of a connection. 
     The instant invention is based on the knowledge that the current solutions do not provide a low cost, reliable tool or apparatus for joining two or more wires together for long periods of time and keeping them joined even under high stress environments. If a live wire becomes dislodge from a connector it poses a safety or fire hazard. The problem is further accentuated when a wire composed of numerous strands which is defined as a stranded wire is connected to a solid core wire such as 12 or 14 gauge Romex wires found in home wiring.
