Abstract
An armor stop which is removably insertable into a range taking electrical connector defining an elongate cable passageway having opposed first and second openings for terminating first-sized electrical cables of a first range of diameters in abutting engagement therein. The armor stop includes an elongate arcuate armor stop wall having opposed inner and outer surfaces. The inner surface defines a conductor receiving passageway for receiving one or more conductors of a second-sized cable having a diameter smaller than the first-sized cable. The armor stop wall includes a first end insertable into the cable passageway and has a thickness defined between the inner and outer surfaces which prevents the second-sized cables from being inserted into the conductor receiving passageway. The armor stop wall is circumferentially an discontinuous about the cable received in the cable passageway so as to allow the one or more conductors received therein to pass therethrough.
