ABSTRACT:
A cable connector combination wherein the cable has an electrically conductive core and an extra-thick insulating sheath. There is a terminal fitting which includes a wire barrel and an insulator barrel. The former grips the exposed length of bare wire core and the latter grips a reduced diameter portion of the sheath. The exposed length is formed by stripping the insulation completely from one end, and the reduced diameter portion of the sheath is formed by stripping part of the insulation from the cable, preferably at a point adjacent the exposed length. The reduced diameter is the same as the outer diameter of a normal sized cable and, therefore, bill fit easily and readily into the standard insulator barrel. Thus, no special fittings are required, and the abrasion-resistant cables can be handled along with all of the others. An apparatus for carrying out the method is also disclosed.
