Abstract: A cable connector, especially for attaching a tap to an aerial cable or electric line, comprises a sleeve adapted to be clamped to the aerial cable and carrying a cylindrical pin or peg on a foot projecting outwardly from this sleeve. A clamp which can be tightened by a screw can engage the pin and the screw head is formed as a shackle or eye so that the assembly can be made from a remote location and tightened by means of a pole whose hook engages in the shackle.
