Cable adapter and adapted system

A combination of an armored conduit and an adapter for enabling conductors of a flexible cable to be extended into the armored conduit with electrical ground continuity, the combination comprising:

• a tubular armored conduit having a threaded nipple at one end thereof;
• a tubular adapter body having an oblique aperture on one side thereof, the aperture enabling access to an interior surface of the adapter body, a ground wire clamp secured to the interior surface thereby establishing electrical continuity therewith, and at one end of the adapter body a first cover fastener;
• a ring collar rotationally secured to a second end of the adapter body and threadedly secured to the threaded nipple of the armored conduit;
• a curved adapter cover having an oblique edge corresponding to the oblique aperture of the adapter body and a second cover fastener;
• whereby, with a ground wire of the flexible cable secured to the ground wire clamp, electrical ground continuity is established between the ground wire of the flexible cable and the armored conduit.

An adapter for enabling a ground wire of a flexible cable to be secured and to establish electrical continuity with a rigid armored cable sheath, the adapter comprising:

• an adapter body having an oblique aperture on one side thereof, the aperture enabling access to a portion of an interior of the adapter body, a ground wire clamp secured within the adapter body and having electrical continuity therewith;
• an attachment element rotationally secured to the adapter body;
• a cover having an oblique edge corresponding to the oblique aperture of the adapter body for covering the aperture;
• and
• the flexible cable extending through the adapter body with the ground wire secured to the ground wire clamp.
