A connector is provided for selectively coupling one or more lines or wires (19′, 19″) to a receiving and/or transporting device (27). The connector comprises at least one line or wire receiving ferrule (7) having a plurality of line and/or wire receiving holes (17′-17″) each capable of receiving one of said one or more lines or wires (19′, 19″), wherein said connector further comprises a body (3) for receiving said ferrule (7) and clamping means (9, 11) for exerting a force on said ferrule (7) in order to simultaneously exert a line or wire clamping force on all said line and/or wire receiving holes (17′-17″). In this way all the fluid lines or wires can be clamped at the same time.
