By providing two integrated components, an outer housing and an inner sleeve member having cable engaging arms, with the inner sleeve member being securely mounted to the outer housing in a manner which prevents its separation from the housing, an efficient, easily manufactured and assembled cable connector is realized. In one preferred embodiment, the inner sleeve member incorporates a plurality of locking members which extend through portals formed in the housing to enable the fully assembled cable connector to be quickly and easily lockingly engaged and securely mounted in a receiving hole of a junction or outlet box. If desired, the sleeve member may also incorporate radially extending curved grounding/conductivity tabs mounted to the sleeve member and constructed for extending through additional portals formed in the housing. By employing this construction, a grounding path or an electrical conductivity path is automatically established between the cable connector and the junction/outlet box when the connector is mounted thereto. Finally, a further preferred embodiment also incorporates a gasket member in combination with the housing and the sleeve member to achieve a cable connector which is rain tight or moisture tight.
