A ball joint () is provided having a ball housing () that defines a socket (), and a ball pivot () with a ball head () and ball pin (), where the ball head () is disposed in the socket (). A ball housing passageway () passes through the ball housing (); a ball pin passageway () passes through the ball pin (), and a ball head passageway () passes through the ball head (). The ball pin passageway (), ball head passageway () and ball housing passageway () are in communication with each other for routing a cable () through the ball joint (). A limiter () may extend from an internal surface () of the socket () having a passageway () connected to the ball housing passageway (). The limiter () prevents unlimited spinning of the ball head () within the socket ().
