In order to provide a connector for connecting an accessory box (2) and a cable structure (3) having an outer protective sheath (7) and cables (5) and (6) which are not fixed with respect to the sheath (7), the connector comprises a first piece (8) having a first contact and a second piece (9) having a second contact (22), the first piece and the second piece being removably attached to one another so that in the engaged position, the first and second electrical contacts contact one another to allow the transmission of power, communications or data signals, the second piece (9) having formations for connecting to the cable (5, 6), a first component (10) which is fixed with respect to the formation and a second component (11) which is rotatable with respect to the first component (10), the second component (11) having means (18) for fixing the sheath 7 of the cable structure, the first component (10) and the second component (11) being rotatable with respect to one another but axially substantially fixed with respect to one another. The connector (1) may be fixed to the box by a structure comprising an annular bushing having a flange (24) which is engageable with a locking nut (27) between which the wall 25 of the accessory box (2) can be gripped, a further locking nut (28) being provided for locking the first and second pieces (8, 9) together, the locking nut having a screw thread which is engageable with the same thread (32) as engages the locking nut (27). |
