The stepped surface is perpendicular to the body axis. The stepped surface also extends along a perimeter of the main body. The main body also has a first aperture and a second aperture. Both the first aperture and the second aperture extend through the main body. The electrical conductor further includes a strap integrally formed with the main body. The strap extends away from the main body and has a width less than a width of the first aperture and the second aperture. The strap is selectively receivable within the first aperture and the second aperture in order to secure electrical conductors to the main body. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A securement member for electrical conductors, the securement member comprising: a main body including a body axis and a stepped surface, the stepped surface perpendicular to the body axis and the stepped surface extending along a perimeter of the main body; a first aperture extending through the main body; a second aperture extending through the main body; a strap integrally formed with and extending away from the main body, the strap having a width less than a width of the first aperture and the second aperture, wherein the strap is selectively receivable within the first aperture and the second aperture in order to secure electrical conductors to the main body. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, wherein a surface of the strap includes teeth and the second aperture includes teeth, the teeth of the strap engage the teeth of the second aperture when the strap is received within the second aperture, wherein the engagement between the teeth of the strap and the teeth of the second aperture prevent the strap from being removed from the second aperture. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, wherein the main body includes a grooved portion extending across the main body perpendicular to the body axis, wherein the grooved portion is positioned between the first aperture and the second aperture. ### Claim 4 (depends on 4) The securement member of claim 4, wherein the grooved portion is a first grooved portion, the securement member further comprising a second grooved portion, the second grooved portion positioned opposite the first grooved portion. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, further comprising a projection extending from the stepped surface. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, wherein the main body includes a first portion and a second portion integrally formed with the first portion, the first portion and the second portion extend along a body axis, wherein the stepped surface is positioned between the first portion and the second portion. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, wherein the first aperture is substantially parallel to the body axis, the first aperture extends from an upper surface of the main body to a lower surface of the main body, the upper surface and the lower surface substantially perpendicular to the body axis. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, wherein the second aperture is angled obliquely with respect to the body axis, the second aperture extends from an upper surface of the main body to a side surface of the main body, the upper surface substantially perpendicular to the body axis and the side surface substantially parallel to the body axis. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, wherein the strap initially extends through the first aperture in a first direction along the body axis and then extends though the second aperture in a second direction along the body axis, the first direction opposite the second direction. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The securement member of claim 1, wherein a width of a projection extending from the stepped surface is less than a width of the stepped surface, an adapter configured to abut the stepped surface when coupled to the main body. ### Claim 11 A securement member for securing electrical conductors and configured to couple to an adapter, the securement member comprising: a main body including a first portion, a second portion integrally formed with the first portion, the first portion and the second portion extending along a body axis, and a stepped surface being orthogonal to the body axis and being positioned between the first portion and the second portion, the stepped surface extending along at least a portion of a perimeter of the main body and including a projection configured to engage the adapter; a first aperture extending through the main body; a second aperture extending through the main body; a strap integrally formed with and extending away from the main body, the strap having a width less than a width of the first aperture and the second aperture, wherein the strap selectively receivable within the first aperture and the second aperture in order to secure electrical conductors to the main body. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The securement member of claim 11, wherein a surface of the strap includes teeth and the second aperture includes teeth, the teeth of the strap engaging the teeth of the second aperture when the strap is received within the second aperture, wherein the engagement between the teeth of the strap and the teeth of the second aperture prevent the strap from being removed from the second aperture. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The securement member of claim 11, wherein the main body includes a grooved portion extending across the main body and perpendicular to the body axis, wherein the grooved portion is positioned between the first aperture and the second aperture. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The securement member of claim 13, wherein the grooved portion is a first grooved portion formed on the first portion, the securement member further comprising a second grooved portion, the second grooved portion formed on the second portion and positioned opposite the first grooved portion. ### Claim 15 (depends on 11) The securement member of claim 11, wherein the first aperture is substantially parallel to the body axis, the first aperture extends between an upper surface of the second portion and a lower surface of the first portion, the upper surface and the lower surface substantially perpendicular to the body axis. ### Claim 16 (depends on 11) The securement member of claim 11, wherein the second aperture is angled obliquely with respect to the body axis, the second aperture extends between an upper surface of the second portion and a side surface of the first portion, the upper surface substantially perpendicular to the body axis and the side surface substantially parallel to the body axis. ### Claim 17 (depends on 11) The securement member of claim 11, wherein the strap initially extends through the first aperture in a first direction along the body axis and then extends though the second aperture in a second direction along the body axis, the first direction opposite the second direction. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The securement member of claim 17, wherein the adapter is configured to abut the stepped surface, the adapter shaped similarly to the main body and including a first aperture configured to align with the first aperture of the main body and a second aperture configured to align with the second aperture of the main body; and the strap extending through the first aperture of the main body and the first aperture of the adapter in a first direction along the body axis and then extending through the second aperture of the main body and the second aperture of the adapter in a second direction along the body axis. ### Claim 19 (depends on 11) The securement member of claim 11, wherein a width of the projection is less than a width of the stepped surface, the adapter configured to abut the stepped surface when coupled to the main body. ### Claim 20 (depends on 11) The securement member of claim 11, wherein the projection is a first projection, the securement member further comprising a second projection extending from the stepped surface, the first and second projections spaced apart from one another.
