Abstract
A security system for use with garments and the like mounted for display on a display fixture includes an alarm box adapted to be mounted at a location proximate display fixture, with a key switch for arming and disarming an alarm contained therein. The alarm box sounds an alarm when security conditions are breached. A plurality of garment cables connect individual garments to the system by use of plugs and jacks. A common cable connects the plurality of garment cables to a common connection using jack ports for receiving plugs on each of the garment cables. The common cable connector is adapted to fasten the common cable connector to a garment display fixture. The common cable connector includes a cover protectively enclosing the jacks so that the common cable connector may be locked when the cover is in a closed position. The cover is hinged with internal hinge to prevent access to the hinge in the closed position. The system has at least one alarm cable for connecting the alarm box and the common cable connector to complete an alarm circuit. The alarm circuit is operable to activate the alarm upon breach of security conditions on any one of the garment cables, the alarm cable or the alarm box.
