ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a cable termination system for connection of a cylindrical member, such as a cable, within a housing containing multiple bores. One or more bores of the housing are held in a radially expanded state by one or more retaining devices. The cable may be coupled to a coupling device, such as a metallic lug, and inserted into a first bore such that a connection is made with a first mating device inserted into a second bore. Additionally, a second mating device may be inserted into a third bore to finalize the connection. After the connection is completed, each retaining device is de-coupled from its respective bore causing the housing surrounding the bore to contract to its original state, thereby forming a tight seal between the housing and the cable or mating device.
