This is electrically quite nice, but needs serious strain relief if 
you're putting much stress on it (heavy coax, a long run between 
supports, trees that sway in the wind). When I've used them, I've added 
an egg insulator above this one, clamped each conductor to secure it 
mechanically, then looped the conductor down to the contacts, where I 
clamped them to the contacts with copper split-bolt connectors. I also 
tied the two insulators together with rigging rope.
