What is a BX connector?

A BX connector is a special type of box connector used for securing a BX cable to a junction box. BX is a type of armoured cable that is used for specific locations where ordinary Romex cable could become damaged. Before the connector is installed onto the BX cable there is a small PVC collar to be installed. In the trade it is called an anti short. It slides between the outer sheath of the BX and the conductors inside the sheath. It adds protection for the inner conductors from rubbing against the outer sheath if any vibration is involved in the installation. There is usually a small hole in the BX connector and the red anti short can be seen through this hole. This makes it easy for the electrical inspector to see if the anti short bushing has been installed during an inspection, and they do check.
