A non-metallic outlet box assembly attached to an associated wall stud includes a pair of substantially identical, generally rectangular outlet boxes and a mounting bracket molded from resilient, high-impact, plastic material. Each outlet box is open at its front end and has top, bottom and side walls, at least portions of which converge toward one end of the box. The boxes are connected to each other and to the mounting member, by substantially parallel coengaging rails and channel members. The two outlet boxes are connected in snap-together assembly with each other and are incrementally adjustable in unison relative to the mounting member and a wall stud to which the mounting member is attached. Clamping members associated with cable receiving openings in each outlet box are adjustable to clamping positions wherein associated cables are clamped to the box to resist separation therefrom and to closed positions wherein each clamping member forms a substantial closure for an associated cable receiving opening.

An electrical outlet box comprising a plurality of walls including a top wall, a bottom wall, a pair of opposing side walls connected to and extending between said top wall and said bottom wall, and a rear end wall cooperating with said top wall, said bottom wall and said side walls to define a generally rectangular box for receiving an electrical fixture therein and having a frontal opening, a cable receiving opening defined at least in part by one of said walls, and a cable clamping member supported on said outlet box and associated with said cable receiving opening, said clamping member having a body portion and including an air cap attached to said body portion at a region of weakening, said cable clamping member being movable relative to said outlet box from a cable receiving position to a clamping position wherein said clamping member clampingly engages a cable extending through said cable receiving opening to resist separation of the cable from said outlet box in response to force applied to the cable in a direction away from said outlet box, said air cap forming a closure for said cable receiving opening when said clamping member is in its cable receiving position, said air cap being adapted to break away from said body portion in response to inwardly directed force applied to said air cap.
