A backshell adapter assembly includes an adapter body, a coupling nut and a one-piece shuttle mechanism. The one-piece shuttle mechanism is formed as a tubular member and is adapted to be received in a retaining groove on the adapter body. The one piece shuttle mechanism includes a thrust bushing and one or more concentrically formed spring arms that are adapted to provide axial loading in the direction of an electrical connector shell when the basketball adapter assembly is assembled to an electrical connector.

A cable clamp relieves stress between a cable and a connector with which the cable is associated. The cable clamp includes a body defining a passage way through which a cable may pass and having threads. A strain relief clamp is position internal to the body for clamping a cable relative to the body when the cable is passed through the body. A clamp actuator assembly is threaded onto the threads of the body to actuate the strain relief clamp. Serrations are provided for inhibiting unthreading of the clamp actuator element. In an alternative embodiment of the cable clamp, the clamp actuator assembly may include a non-rotating element floating with respect to a clamp nut and engaging the strain relief clamp such that as the clamp nut is threaded onto the body, the clamp clamps the cable more tightly.
