Orbit Industries DSC-38C Double-snap Cable Connector

Product Description

The ORBIT INDUSTRIES DSC-38C is an insulated double-snap cable connector designed for fast, tool-free termination of metal clad (MC) or armored cable (AC) to steel electrical boxes. The two-step snap-in design seats the cable to the connector first, then snaps the assembly into the box knockout — no tools required at any stage. The connector includes an insulating bushing to protect cable conductors at the entry point. Licensed electricians and experienced DIYers use this connector in cut-in and old-work retrofit installations where quick, secure cable termination is a priority.

The DSC-38C is rated for old work and cut-in installation scenarios, making it well suited for retrofit electrical work in residential and light commercial applications. It is used when running MC or armored cable into existing steel outlet boxes, junction boxes, or device boxes where access is limited and speed of installation matters. The tool-free removal feature allows the connector to be repositioned or reused if the installation layout changes.

Key Features

• Tool-free snap-in installation — no screwdrivers or locknuts required
• Compatible with metal clad and armored cable entry into steel boxes
• Integrated insulator protects cable conductors at the box entry point
• Removable without tools and fully reusable
• Designed specifically for old work and cut-in retrofit installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style snap-in connector for use with metal clad or armored cable entering standard steel electrical boxes in old work and cut-in applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for MC and AC cable terminations. De-energize all circuits at the panel before beginning any cable termination work. Verify the knockout diameter of the steel box matches the connector size before snapping in. Do not use this connector with plastic or fiberglass boxes, as it is designed for steel box applications only.
