ABSTRACT:
A plug and socket connector arrangement for electrical or fiber optic cables includes a pair of tubular locking sleeves mounted for axial and rotational displacement on the plug and connector bodies, which locking sleeves have adjacent ends provided with internal and external screw threads, respectively. The adjacent sleeve ends each contain a plurality of circumferentially spaced longitudinal slits that define a plurality of resilient threaded sectors. After the plug and socket connectors are brought into connected engagement, the locking sleeves are successively displaced from retracted separated positions axially together toward an adjacent locked position, whereby the resilient inner sleeve sectors are initially radially expanded, and the resilient outer sleeve sectors are subsequently radially contracted. The inner and outer screw threads are thus brought into threaded engagement, whereupon the locking sleeves are slightly relatively rotated to lock the sleeves together.
