| Aug 28 at 18:50 | comment | added | JACK | I guess that would depend on the actual cabinet. Plastic cabinets I've seen have some sort of molded connector device like the plastic junction boxes for electric wiring. | |
| Aug 28 at 18:21 | comment | added | peter | Understood. If this is a plastic media box with large knockouts that aren't particularly sharp, would you still install connectors? | |
| Aug 28 at 18:18 | comment | added | JACK | No different than NB running straight through a junction box with no splicing, connectors needed entering and leaving. | |
| Aug 28 at 18:17 | comment | added | peter | Got it, thanks for clarifying! | |
| Aug 28 at 18:10 | comment | added | JACK | I'm referring to the metal media cabinets where the knockouts have the sharp edges and the connectors are there to protect the cables. | |

I'm not terminating the cable into this cabinet, and so I don't think I need strain relief. The cables will be terminated into a proper electric box outside that panel, and will have proper NM-B clamp connectors there for strain relief. | |
