The clamping body includes first and second side members with upper bearing surfaces, a base wall connecting the side members, and a clamping body nesting section. A protrusion extends from the first member, and is slidably engaged within the closed end recess. A cable passageway is formed between the nesting sections. The upper bearing surfaces of the clamping body are slidably engaged with the guide flanges of the housing.
