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 (26, 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 on 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 of 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 together and urge the sliding wedges to a position urging the halves to a closed position.
