Abstract
A cable connector terminates an armored cable in a knockout in a wall of an electrical enclosure. The connector includes a one-piece connector body having a forward end and plurality of side walls extending from the forward end in cantilevered fashion to define a cavity for receipt of an end of the cable. The forward end of the connector body is insertable into the knockout and the cantilevered side walls are deflectable to permit such insertion. The side walls further accommodate insertion of a cable into the cavity for retentively supporting the cable to the enclosure. The side walls of the connector body include outwardly extending tabs for engaging wall of the enclosure about the knockout. Side walls further include inwardly extending fingers for engaging the cable.
