seems to imply that it is OK to put two 14/2 through one clamp, is that
correct? *That would make things neater if I could do that, but I don't

If the device is listed for use with two cables (which this one is) then it's
ok to use it for two cables.



Also, is there any prohibition against putting the clamps in "backwards"
that is with the screw and clamp inside the box? *I don't need to do
this for this job but I could see some situations (e.g. putting a box in
an existing hole using existing wiring) where that might be desirable.

Huh. Dunno. Never thought about that...

I have used a couple of cable clamps that were constructed with double
cable 'channels' but one clamp so as to accomodate two cables in the
one cable clamp opening. Would be excellent for say two #14AWG etc.
Can't recall the item number. Cheers.
