Abstract
A connector for affixing cables (e.g., of the type having wires bundled within a corrugated cover) within an electrical or other junction box has a body with a first end into which the cable cover (and the wires therein) may be inserted, and a second end configured to affix to the entry of a junction box, and which is configured to allow the wires of the cable to leave the connector and extend into the junction box. The connector has an engagement member thereon with one or more engagement legs which extend into the body of the connector, and into the internal passage of the connector body into which the cable is fit, to engage the cable cover and fix the cable to the connector body.
