A clamped connection ( 10 ) couples together at least first and second sections ( 12, 14 ) of at least one line ( 11 ) which mesh mechanically. The clamped connection ( 10 ) includes a ferrule ( 16 ) which receives the sections ( 12, 14 ), and a gripping pad ( 22 ) situated between them. Swaging the ferrule ( 16 ) meshes the sections ( 12, 14 ) through the gripping pad ( 22 ) so compressive forces applied to the sections ( 12, 14 ) required to prevent their slippage relative to one another are reduced, and breaking strength retention of the line ( 11 ) is improved. A method for forming the clamped connection includes the steps of: (i) situating within the ferrule ( 16 ) the two sections ( 12, 14 ); (ii) situating the gripping pad ( 22 ) within the ferrule ( 16 ) between the sections ( 12, 14 ); and (iii) swaging the ferrule ( 16 ).
