Abstract: A device for making branch connections to screened cables comprising an insulative material in which electrical conductors are embedded, an insulative sheath enclosing the insulative material and a metal braid comprises rings adapted to be crimped to the respective ends of the screened cables over the previously exposed braid and a metal casing in the form of two half-shells adapted to nest one within the other and comprising complementary notches. The rings are accommodated in the notches at the crimps.
