The cord is urged into a stored state into the housing and can be selectively withdrawn therefrom. The connector is attachable to an article to be monitored. At least one of a) a first discrete part of the cord is repositionable relative to a second discrete part of the cord and b) at least a part of the housing is repositionable relative to a support on which the housing is mounted in an operative position to control twisting of the cord about the length of the cord by reason of turning of the connector.
