Abstract: A captive fastener assembly and method comprising a retaining plate for positioning upon a perimeteral surface of a cover of an enclosure during use, the retaining plate comprising a plurality of plate openings having an inner diameter for the passage of a plurality of respective captive fasteners. The captive fastener assembly further comprises a plurality of respective securing rings having inner and outer diameters, the plurality of capture fasteners comprising an annular notch for fixedly attaching to the inner diameter of the securing ring during use, wherein the outer diameter of the securing rings is greater than the inner diameter of the plate openings.

Abstract: An electrical cable coupler shell has first and second halves with open end portions configured for telescopic movement along an axis. A first clamp structure is located on the first shell half. A second clamp structure is located on the second shell half. A third clamp structure is receivable in screw threaded engagement with the first clamp structure for movement axially and rotationally relative to the first shell half. The third clamp structure is configured to engage the second clamp structure so as to rotate relative to the second shell half, and simultaneously to impart axial movement to the second shell half, upon moving axially and rotationally in screw threaded engagement with the first clamp structure.
