A cable connection hood for housing a single or multiple socket connector, has a pair of mating wall sections that have abutting flanges and contain spacer blocks in various predetermined reconfigurable patterns. A wall section has a support flange spaced from an inwardly directed lip along the front thereon, with the spacer blocks fitting between the support flange and the lip. The spacer blocks comprise center portion blocks and end blocks and have means thereon for securement within the mated wall sections. The connector hood is usable with either round or flat cables and has means for preventing dislocation of socket connectors, contained therein, from card edge connectors during vibrations or shocks.
