1. A coupler for rotatably attaching two sections of an elongate cable, comprising:
a first component including a body that extends between a first end and a second end that is connectable to a first section, the body extending along a first longitudinal axis, the first component further comprising an opening disposed through a first face that defines the first end of the first component, the first component further comprising a receiving volume that extends from the opening and blindly toward the second end of the first component, the receiving volume being partially bounded by opposite first and second parallel side walls, and a first aperture that extends from the receiving volume through an arcuate side wall of the first component; and a second component including a body that extends between a first end and a second end that is connectable to an end of a second section, the body of the second component extending along a second longitudinal axis, the second component further comprising a flange and a finger that extends along the second longitudinal axis and includes a first portion that extends along the second longitudinal axis away from the flange, and a second portion that extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the second longitudinal axis, wherein the first and second portions of the finger are both partially defined by opposite parallel side walls that are spaced apart substantially the same distance as a spacing between the first and second parallel side walls that partially bound the receiving volume, wherein the finger is configured to be received within the receiving volume when the first and second components are connected together, with a top surface of the finger extending to the first aperture of the first component. |
