Abstract
An adapter ferrule is provided configured to connect between a connector and an armored cable. The connector has a connection piece, a nut thread, a lock nut, and a ferrule, the ferrule having at least a threaded region of a first thread standard. The armored cable has a second thread standard different from the first thread standard. The adapter ferrule has a small block and a large block. The small block has an internal threading matching the second thread standard of the armor, the outer dimension of which fits within the threaded region of the ferrule. The large block has a recessed thread configured to fit over the outside of the threaded region of the ferrule, the recessed thread having the same thread standard as the threaded region of the ferrule.
