However, apparently ENT was a predecessor to that, I just hadn’t encountered it until now. I don’t recall even seeing it in the aisles at local HDs. I’ll have to look for it.
Apparently I spend more time roaming the aisles of the big box home improvement supply stores than you do (I am not proud of that, I just do(*)). I have seen it, and all the associated connectors. and alternatives, for years, although for various reasons I prefer to use the local electrical supply stores when possible to source items (yes, they can be more expensive for some items, but they can also supply items that only the pro's know even exist, so I prefer supporting stores that have that deep competency and supply sourcing). (*) I do not visit the local big box home improvement stores more than once a month or so, but whenever I do I also walk down the aisles which include electrical items even if I have zero reason to purchase any items just to level-set me list of items they stock.
