Split cable gland KVT for routing pre-terminated cables. A cable gland (more often known in the U.S. as a cord grip, cable strain relief, cable connector or cable fitting) is a device designed to attach and secure the end of an electrical cable to the equipment. [1]
Usually, the lines are fixed by clamping them into single cable clamps made of plastic or metal. Another possibility is to use so called cord grips which consist of weaved wire strands that put a grip around the cables. [3] A more cable-friendly alternative is attaching the lines to special strain relief plates using common cable ties. In case ...
A cable harness, also known as a wire harness, wiring harness, cable assembly, wiring assembly or wiring loom, is an assembly of electrical cables or wires which transmit signals or electrical power. [1] The cables are bound together by a durable material such as rubber, vinyl, electrical tape, conduit, a weave of extruded string, or a ...

The National Electrical Contractors Association's National Electrical Installation Standards (NECA 130-2010) recommends that sockets be mounted with the ground hole up, such that an object falling on a partially inserted connector contacts the ground pin first. However, the inverted orientation (with ground pin downwards) is more commonly used.
Most electrical connectors have a gender – i.e. the male component, called a plug, connects to the female component, or socket. Thousands of configurations of connectors are manufactured for power, data, and audiovisual applications. [3] Electrical connectors can be divided into four basic categories, differentiated by their function: [4]
Screw terminals, as individual connectors to a board at left, as a barrier strip with setscrews at top, and as a barrier strip with attached spade and loop lugs at bottom. A screw terminal is a type of electrical connection where a wire is held by the tightening of a screw .
