Abstract: A connector including at least two connector blocks, first connector block and second connector block, which may be employed to interconnect fiber optic cables or electrical cables. A pair of frame-like lugs on a housing of the first connector block are engageable with a pair of flexible arms on a housing of the second connector block to couple the two connector blocks to each other. A housing of one of the connector blocks is provided with members which are resiliently deformable when engaged with part of a housing of the other connector block. When sliders which are also furnished with on the first connector block are engaged with the flexible arms of the second connector block, the connector blocks are uncoupled from each other due to restoring forces exerted by the resilient deformable members.
