Abstract: A clamp for use with a quick-disconnect cable connector for joining a cable connector having a plug assembly and matching receptacle. A coupling sleeve is axially passed over the plug assembly. A mating coupling sleeve is secured to the coupling nut portion of the plug assembly with an axial force transmitting device therebetween. The axial force transmitting means transmits an axial force developed when the two coupling sleeves are torqued to the plug assembly. The axial force transmitted means may be cylindrical sectors for a slotted annular ring with the result that the axial force is distributed uniformly around the plug assembly such that the plug assembly is seated against the receptacle maintaining a seal therebetween and preventing misalignment.
