What is a romex connector?

A Romex connector is a type of electrical connector used to secure and protect non-metallic sheathed cable (commonly known as Romex) when it enters an electrical box or enclosure. It typically features a clamp that grips the cable, preventing it from being pulled out and ensuring a safe electrical connection. These connectors come in various sizes to accommodate different cable gauges and are often made of plastic or metal. Using a Romex connector helps maintain compliance with electrical codes and enhances safety in electrical installations.
