A weapons cable retention device is used for separating an electrical connection, and retaining a cable and an electrical connector coupled to an aircraft, when a munition, such as a bomb or a missile, is released from the aircraft. The cable retention device includes a structural coupling for coupling to the aircraft, a rod having an adjustment mechanism for adjusting the length of the rod, and an attachment mechanism for attaching to the electrical connector. The cable retention device provides a substantially rigid coupling to secure the electrical connector. The cable retention device may be configured so that the attachment mechanism engages lanyard holes of a standard electrical connector. According to one embodiment, the structural coupling may include a collar that receives a bail bar on the aircraft structure through a hole therein.
