ABSTRACT:
A tapping connector for a screened multiwire electric cable comprising an outer covering around both a plurality of conductor wires which are electrically insulated from one another and electromagnetic screening forming a sheath around the conductor wires, and optionally around a drain conductor providing electrical continuity for the screening. An annular portion of the outer covering and at least a portion of the sheath forming the screen being removed from a selected position along the cable for installation of the connector. The connector comprises at least two complementary portions which are dissociable to allow a cable to be put into a position passing between them and to enable the cable to be held stationary relative thereto when they are reassembled. The connector further includes a plurality of parallel grooves on one of its portions, each groove containing either an insulation-piercing connection piece for making electrical connection with a corresponding one of the insulated conductor wires or with a drain conductor, or else a conducting connection piece constituting a tab for making contact with a drain conductor or a conducting link providing screening continuity.
