The split open dead end cable connector includes two hinged halves (26, 28) with half circular serrated channels (30, 32) which align when the halves (2 6, 28) are in a closed position to form a serrated aperture for engaging the fiber optical cable (100). Lateral taper rail segments are likewise formed o n the sides of the hinged halves (26, 28) which align when the halves are in a closed position to form tapered rails. Sliding wedges with internal channels complementary to the tapered rails are used to urge the halves together into a closed position. Prongs of a U-bail pass through loops formed on the sides o f the halves (26, 28) of the body and the sliding wedges. Nuts (22, 24) threadably attached to the prongs of the U-bail secure the connector togethe r and urge the sliding wedges to a position urging the halves to a closed position.
