A junction box comprising: a body; a resilient clamp arm having firs and second ends, a cable engagement head being affixed to the first end, the second end being mounted on the body such that deflection of the clamp arm causes a cable-receiving aperture to be defined, the clamp arm including a firs segment extending from the engagement head to a fir bend, and a second segment extending from the first bend to a second bend, the second bend being in an opposite direction from the first bend; and limit stop means mounted to the body and disposed proximate to the second segment to limit motion of the second segment upon deflection of the clamp arm, such that when a cable is inserted into the junction box, the deflection of the clamp arm causes opening of the firs bend and closing of the second bend, such that the engagement head of the clamp arm is urged against the cable, due to the resilience of the clamp arm.
