Abstract
An electrical cable accessory, such as a terminator or an electrical connector element, to be installed at the terminus of a shielded electrical cable using a lubricant to ease the installation has an opening for receiving the cable and a flared inlet passage through which the cable terminus passes, the configuration of the inlet passage permitting the lubricant to enter the opening during installation and assuring that the cable will be gripped appropriately within the opening upon completion of the installation.
