Abstract

A cover assembly (20) for receiving a connector (56) terminated to a cable (92) is disclosed in which the cover assembly has a exterior contoured surface (118), a cavity (134) for receiving the connector and first (74) and second (76) cable exits from the cavity to the exterior contoured surface. Each cable exit is adapted to receive either the cable or a cable exit plug (28). The cable exit plug has first (120) and second (116) surfaces and is adapted to be received in the first cable exit (74) with the first surface (120), contoured to conform to the exterior surface of the housing surrounding the first cable exit, facing outwardly from the cavity. The cable exit plug is also adapted to be received in the second cable exit (76) with a second surface (116) facing outwardly from the cavity. The second surface is contoured to conform to the exterior surface of the housing surrounding the second cable exit.
