A cable connector cover for use primarily with telephone cable connectors is provided with knock-out panels for bringing a connector half into the cover from an outlet box and for creating screw openings for mounting on the outlet box. Further mounting is possible by the use of snap-in inserts fitting within diagonally arranged pockets on the rear of the cover, which inserts may magnetically or adhesively be joined to an external object. Screws for holding the cover on an outlet box are carried in a press-fit holder within the cover, and the holder is spaced above an underlying wall by a sufficient distance that tape segments for use on the inserts can be stored between the wall and screws. Further knock-out panels provide mounting for modular jacks. Adjustable cable passage openings seal around various cable sizes or may be closed by plugs. A movable contact member in each cable passage opening is provided with flexible ears that are cammed into wrapping engagement with small cables to also permit the movable member to approach very close to the terminal end of the cable opening.

An improved cable connector cover of the type having a body adapted to house a cable connector and defining a cable passage opening having an arcuate side, a sliding door means associated with the cable passage opening and having an arcuate edge opposed to the arcuate side of the cable passage opening, wherein the sliding door means is of the type having a plate with the arcuate edge at one end thereof and a cable contacting member extending normally to the plane of the plate from the arcuate edge and defining an arcuate seat substantially as wide as the cable passage opening, guide means for directing the sliding door means in a path toward the arcuate edge of the opening, and friction means for retaining the door in a given position along the path toward the arcuate edge, wherein the improvement comprises: a cable access panel formed in a wall of the cover and having a perimetric line of weakness for guiding the separation of the cable access panel from the wall, wherein the cable access panel is of a size that the hole created in the wall by removal of the cable access panel will permit passage of at least one-half of a cable connector therethrough; and a flexible ear at each side of said seat, deformable under contact with the arcuate side of the cable passage opening, whereby the ears are guided to follow the curvature of the cable passage opening.
