Abstract
A cable connector cover has a U-shaped housing surrounding a cable passage with the arc at the base of the U-shape adjacent an arcuate portion of the passage. The cover has a double wall and an intermediate space surrounding the passage, and a sliding door is moveable in the space to partially cover the passage. Friction means allow the door to be retained in any of various positions covering portions of the passage. A normally extending member attached to the door closes the open side of the U-shaped housing and is slidable with the door toward the arcuate side of the housing to clamp the cable against the housing. Lips on the lateral sides of the normally extending member are severable from the remainder of the member to allow close clamping of extremely small cable.
