Abstract

A junction box having a sheathed cable retainer structure is disclosed. The junction box contains pry outs that cover openings at corners of the junction box wherein the pry outs are removed and a sheathed cable or like electrical wiring can pass therethrough. A strain relief bracket having segmented distal bends at opposite ends thereof engages the cable and under bias pushes the cable against an indent formed on a wall inside the junction box opposite the cable.
