1. A mount for an electrical connector, the mount comprising:
a generally cylindrical body defining an inner surface and an outer surface;
a concave protrusion extending from the outer surface; and
a connector receptacle extending from the outer surface, wherein the connector receptacle is structured to receive pair of mated electrical connectors, and wherein the body further defines a first hole and a second hole through which fasteners may secure each electrical connector within the connector receptacle
wherein the connector receptacle has generally planar parallel sidewalls extending from the outer surface of the generally cylindrical body, wherein the generally planar parallel sidewalls define exterior channels to receive a fastener, and wherein the first hole is aligned with the exterior channels such that a fastener surrounding a first connector of the pair of mated electrical connectors in the connector receptacle passes through the first hole and lies within the channels.
