I have power and communications coming out of a post for several electronic signs. As they exit the post, I have a junction box attached to the post to distribute the conductors/cables to the individual signs. What can I use to provide strain relief? Something I can attach to the inside of the box?
 
How would you NOT provide strain relief if you are using the proper connector for the cord to go into the box? How much strain are you attempting to arrest?

Hal: the conductors/cables are inside the post. They come from a pull box on the ground to the junction box mounted on the post.

MAC: these are individual conductors/cables just going through the junction box. there are no connectors at this point.
 
Got it, now, thanks. Like Hal, I wasn't picturing the actual question.

For what you are doing, what I've done sometimes is to bundle the wires inside the j-box and put a really good zip-tie or two around the bundle near each entry.
