Abstract: A junction box connector is disclosed with a gland specially formed to provide a watertight seal for service entrance cables being passed through electrical junction box walls. The junction box connector includes a central connector and a hexagonal connector housing, with the central connector receiving and holding the gland when the hexagonal connector housing is threaded onto the central connector. The gland has an irregularly shaped passage formed to match the irregular cross-sectional shape of a service entrance cable. The matching of passage shape and cable shape allows the gland to provide a watertight seal around the service entrance cable and prevent water leakage into a junction box.
