Abstract

A multiple cable connector box conductively connects a plurality of multi-conductor cables. Each cable has a first multi-contact connector which is conductively connectable to a second multi-contact connector supported within the multiple cable connector box. The box or housing has a plurality of openings with each multi-conductor cable extending through one of the openings. A plurality of flexible retaining posts can hold each second multi-contact connector within the box in at least two positions such that each cable can extend into the box through at least one of two different openings by changing the second connector's position within the box. Each opening not having one of the cables extending therethrough is closed off with a cover.
