A system and method of attaching a braided sleeve to a junction box so that the braided sleeve completely protects any cable or wire leading from the junction box. To attach the braided sleeve to the junction box, one end of the braided sleeve is engaged with a clamp. A faceplate is provided for the junction box. The clamp is interposed between the faceplate and the junction box, wherein the braided sleeve extends through an opening in the faceplate. The faceplate is mounted to the junction box or to a receptacle within the junction box. The clamp device is too large to pass through the opening in the faceplate. Consequently, the clamp and the end of the braided sleeve become trapped between the faceplate and the junction box. Any wire or cable that leads to the junction box passes through the center of the braided sleeve.
