A cable connection system is disclosed. The system comprises a connector body (10), a fastener (20) and an installation tool (30). The connector body (10) is formed of an electrically conductive material and has a tunnel (11) for receipt of a cable to be connected and a threaded aperture (12) communicating with the tunnel (11) and opening onto an external surface (13) of the connector body (10). The fastener (20) is also formed of an electrically conductive material. The fastener (20) has a hollow fastener body defined by a substantially cylindrical frangible fastener wall (23) having a slot (24) and extending from the fastener trailing end (22) towards the fastener leading face (21). The fastener wall (23) is externally threaded for engagement with the threaded aperture (12). The installation tool (30) has a drive tab (31) and a detent surface (32). The tool (30) is adapted to rotatably drive the fastener (20) through the threaded aperture (12). In use, the drive tab (31) is slidingly received in the slot (24) to transmit torque from the tool (30) to the fastener wall (23) at the slot (24). Then, the detent surface (32) engages with the external surface (13) of the connector body (10) adjacent the aperture (12), thereby, limiting the travel of the tab (31) along the slot (24). Upon application of a predetermined torque to the tool (30), the fastener wall (23) fails at the tab (31) at a predetermined location relative to the external surface (13) of the connector body (10).
