ABSTRACT:
A cable connecting apparatus includes a cable sleeve adapted to receive the outer casing of a control cable; a guide having a first end portion and a second end portion for movably supporting the cable sleeve; and a biasing device for biasing the cable sleeve toward the second end portion of the guide. In another device, a connecting member is provided for connecting a portion of a first inner wire located between a first outer casing and a second outer casing to a portion of a second inner wire disposed between a third outer casing and a fourth outer casing, wherein the connector moves together with the first inner wire and the second inner wire. A position confirmation means allows the position of at least one of the first outer casing, the second outer casing, the third outer casing and the fourth outer casing to be visually confirmed.
