ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a connector system and methods for attaching a first and second connector. Each connector includes an elongate connector body and a coupling nut rotatably coupled about the connector body. Each coupling nut includes a center plate and a pair of latch arms, with each arm having a groove therein to define a tooth at a distal end of each arm. The arms are substantially parallel to the connector body. Each connector further includes at least one resilient member which resists movement of the arms away from their parallel orientation relative to the elongate body. The first and second connectors may be connected by abutting the connector bodies and rotating the coupling nuts so that the grooves and teeth of corresponding arms mate with each other.
