CABLE CLOSURE WITH CABLE SHEATH GRIPPING ASSEMBLY

摘要

A closure includes an end plate assembly (20) which includes an inner (24) and an outer (22) endplate and between which is disposed a cable sheath gripping assembly (60). The cable sheath gripping assembly includes a housing and a clamping portion (100) which cooperate to form two cable-receiving passageways. Each passageway is formed between two channels, one being formed in the base and one being formed in the clamping portion. Each channel is provided with a plurality of inwardly extending circumferential and axial ribs with the ribs cooperating to clamp a cable end portion extending therewith. The engagement of the ribs with the cable end portion under compressive engagement caused by the turning of a bolt into threaded insert of the housing provides enhanced resistance to pullout and rotation of the cable end portion.
