adamburgess Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Hello! I'm making a couple of stage boxes - but what is this bit called?http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i10/adamburgess2004/ADC2718.gifStrain-relief? Cable grip? If anyone is kind enough to give a CPC part number - I'd be happy! Thank you, Adam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benweblight Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Strain relief I think. Studiospares list a couple as 'spiral glands'. I.E:http://studiospares.com/pd_404820_SPIRAL%2...UT%20404220.htm (Sorry to double post, edit doesn't want to work for some reason) CPC have a ton aswell: http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.j...requestid=77158 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamburgess Posted March 14, 2008 Author Share Posted March 14, 2008 Spiral glands - never thought about that one! That'll do nicely! Thanks very much. Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh 2 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 Adam (or anyone else know), Have you sourced any boxes/enclosures for your project? I'm looking to put some speaker terminations (speakon & 1/4 J) and have been trying to find some mild steel enclosures. I only need something like 6"x4"x2", but can't seem to find any off-the-shelf. Anyone seen/know anything suitable please? Thanks J. [E]PS: would be nice if I could find something with cut-outs for speakon/jack connectors, but plain boxes would do![/E] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benweblight Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 There you go, those should take XLR, Speakon and possibly jack (not sure if neutriks do one for the same cutout?) http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.j...requestid=85931 Edit: ofcourse they do. http://cpc.farnell.com/CN02847/cable-wire-...NEUTRIK-NJ3FP6C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieR Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 To answer the OP more specifically, there are two parts to the circled item. The 'Cable Gland' is the large nut assembly that secures the cable to the box. The 'Strain Relief' is the plastic or metal spiral or braid that prevents the cable being bent too sharply which can be a common cause of cable damage at the stage box end. Some manufacturer's produce them as a combined product. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched CPC for enclosures, steel boxes etc., but didn't think of the obvious <_< Thanks again.J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
