Good point - thanks for the correction on that Bill. So - it's just a
lesson to stick in your arsenal of information - every electrical
connection needs some sort of clamp for strain relief. From now on it's
almost a sure bet you will notice such things in existing wiring and it's
not likely you'll make this same mistake again.

required within 6 inches of the box - for strain relief.

No, it's not.
