ABSTRACT:
A device for connecting to the end of a cable, having stranded wires including a sleeve nut. The sleeve nut has threads at one end. The cable is placed through the sleeve nut with the threads facing towards the end of the cable. A sleeve is provided with gripping means. The cable is placed through the sleeve after the sleeve nut. The gripping means are in contact with the outer insulated surface of the cable and prevent the cable from sliding out of the sleeve. An outer support ring having threads and including a pointed contact is provided. The pointed contact penetrates the stranded wires of the cable as the sleeve nut threads and the outer support ring threads engage and are rotated. This causes the sleeve nut and the outer support ring to move together, radially compressing the sleeve, so that the gripping means prevent the cable from sliding out of the sleeve.
