A connection system for connecting external devices to specified locations o n a marine seismic streamer. Inner collars are clamped to the cable at specifi ed locations along its length. Each inner collar forms a circular race encircli ng the cable. A cuff attached to an external device is in the form of a C-shape d cylindrical ring with a circular inner surface. A throat is formed in the ri ng by a gap, which extends the full length of the cuff across the ends of the C . The spacing between the ends of the C across the throat defines the width of the gap, which is slightly larger than the diameter of the cable so that the cuff can be slipped over the cable through the throat, and which is smaller than the diameter of the circular race so that, when the cuff is slid into position on the race, the cuff cannot be removed radially.
