Abstract: A cable connector includes a base and two upstanding posts, each carrying a cable retention arm spaced above and parallel to the base. The arms extend in opposite directions, flanking a cable entry slot. The connector is place on a cable with the cable in the entry slot, and the connector is then moved ninety degrees to locate the cable in a cable retention path extending beneath the arms. A clamp plate is moved from the base toward the arms to clamp the cable against the arms. Applications for the connector include a spacer for power distribution cables and splicing two cables together.
