ABSTRACT:
A cable connector for connecting marine seismic cables having an electrical conductor and a high tensile strength load transmitting core, comprising a housing having spherical sockets provided in opposite ends thereof, a pair of diametrically opposed grooves extending partially into the inner surface of the spherical sockets and extending longitudinally relative to the housing, strain relief members attached to the cables having substantially spherical ball portions at each end thereof rotatably positioned within the spherical sockets of the housing, and a pair of diametrically opposed pockets in the outer surface of the ball portions arranged to register with the grooves of the spherical sockets. A pair of projections extend from opposite sides of the ball portions and project into the grooves of the spherical sockets whereby the strain relief members are free to simultaneously rotate about the projections and translate along the grooves.
