French term or phrase: boîte à coin

Does anybody have an idea whether a 'coin' in this context could be a 'wedge' (utilisé pour séparer les conducteurs d'un câble?)
Merci bcp.

Explanation:
Une extrémité du câble vient se loger dans une " boite à coin ", qui l'emprisonne avec la tension du câble.
Le réglage de la tension du câble, se fait en intervenant sur les tiges filetées.

boîte à coin tapered/conical cable seal/grip/connector

Explanation:
is a possibility, depending on context.

The conical/tapered section means that as force is exerted, the cable is clamped/sealed tighter still.
