CABLE CONNECTOR AND LOCKING SHROUD

摘要

A cable connector assembly (10) includes a threaded connector part (12) and a coupling part (20), comprising a threaded nut (22) rotatable on a cable holder (26). The nut (22) engages with the connector part (12). The cable holder (26) includes a profiled external face (32) defining a pair of flats. A locking shroud (34) including a number of internal elastomeric O-rings (38) may be passed over the cable holder (26) and nut (22), whereupon the O-rings (38) engage with the outer surface of the nut (22). The shroud (34) further includes a profiled portion (40) which engages with the flats of the external face (32) of the cable holder (26). The combination of the profile (40) and the O-rings (38) serve to hold the nut (22) stationary relative to the cable holder (26), and so prevent disassembly of the connector assembly (10).
