ABSTRACT:
A fish leader for pulling terminated cables through conduits or other passageways includes a coupler which attaches directly to the cable connector. The trailing surface of the coupler matches the lateral profile of the mating surface of the connector and therefore minimizes the lateral dimension of the attached connector/coupler pair. The coupler attaches to the connector using the existing connector fastening screws which engage threaded holes in the coupler. A curved and tapered leading front surface of the coupler enables it to deflect around obstructions as it is moved through the conduit. A swivel attachment at the front of the coupler provides attachment for a pulling member, such as a cable string or fish tape. The trailing surface of the coupler includes a recess to enclose the connector pins, protecting them from damage while pulling the cable.
