Abstract
A control cable end connector offering positive locking and positive sealing features for control cable connection. A connector feature is molded on the cable sleeve becoming a permanent part of the cable assembly. An acoustic cup is positioned on the connector which slides along the connector and includes two cantilevered locking hooks. The connector locates through an opening in a substantially flat portion of a wall by capturing the wall between two flanges. The acoustic cup seals the end connector area of the wall and snaps into the substantially flat wall providing a positive lock against the removal of the connector.
