A hinged strain relief backshell, selectively disposed about a cable, adjacent to a cable connector for selective assembly with the connector, includes a first integral semi-cylindrical backshell half and a second integral semi-cylindrical backshell half second hinged to the first integral backshell half. The integral semi-cylindrical backshell halves configured to be to be selectively disposed about the cable with one another. Each integral semi-cylindrical backshell half defining complementary half-threads defined by the respective backshell half and corresponding wrench flats defined in an outside surface portion of each backshell half. At least one of the integral semi-cylindrical backshell halves defining at least one strain clamp ear portion extending from a connector distal portion of the backshell half for retraining the cable at least in a direction parallel to the cable.

A coupling for electrical metallic tubing is provided. In some embodiments, a coupling may include a main body having a first circumferential end and a second circumferential end. The coupling may further include a first tab extending from the first circumferential end and a second tab extending from the second circumferential end, the first tab including a first opening to receive a fastener and the second tab including a second opening to receive the fastener. The coupling may further include a central tab extending from the first circumferential end, the central tab received within a central tab opening of the second circumferential end. In some embodiments, an electrical metallic tubing (EMT) may extend within a central cavity defined by a tubular shape of the main body. The coupling may further include a set screw extending through the first and second tabs for engagement with the EMT.

An electrical fitting adapted for insertion from the interior of an electrical box in order to provide a secure means for attaching an electrical cable to the box. The electrical insider fitting includes a connector body having a leading end, a trailing end, and a base flange on the trailing end. A leading face is included on the base flange and a seat on the connector body adjacent the leading face of the base flange. A snap ring resides in the seat and includes one or more outward extending locking tangs. The leading end of the connector body includes an internal bore with an internal snap ring secured therein. The internal snap ring includes one or more cable retaining tangs for engaging and securing an electrical cable to the leading end of the connector body.

A cable gland and method for earthing, bonding, and electromagnetic capability with armored, metal-clad, and metallic-sheathed cable types. The cable gland includes compressible fingers with the ability to compress or expand about a cable inserted in and through the cable gland, and an adjustable earthing coil arranged internally inside a part of the cable gland that secures around a cable inserted in the cable gland. When fully coiled, the adjustable earthing coil is relaxed and as the adjustable earthing coil is expanded it generates a restoring force. An earthing strap attached to the adjustable earthing coil in the cable gland, provides grounding capabilities to the cable gland.
