ABSTRACT:
A control cable comprises first and second half cables connectable together by a linking device. The first and second half cables respectively include first and second sheaths and first and second inner cables. The linking device comprises male and female interior and exterior linking bodies respectively joined to the first and second inner cables and sheaths. The male interior and exterior linking bodies are at least partially insertable in the female interior and exterior linking bodies, respectively, and each has a groove. The interior and exterior linking bodies are locked together by respective interior and exterior locking elements. The interior locking element, in particular, includes a fixing portion for axially retaining the male interior linking body to the female interior linking body when disposed in the groove in the male interior linking body, a clamping portion spaced axially from the fixing portion for clamping around the female interior linking body, and an intermediate portion integrally joining the fixing and clamping portions.
