An electric cable connector device (10) for use with pothead connectors has a base member (30) with a wide lower portion (34) and an elevated portion (32) for maintaining an electrical connection (20) formed by two electrical cables above the ground while permitting the device to move on the ground and thus prevent electrical short, dirt contamination, and inadvertent damage. The base member may also have a first and second leg portion configured for straddling a berm such that the device moves along a berm without entering a roadway. Apertures (44) are formed in the base member for forks of a forklift or for a chain or cable such that the device and connection may be moved. The connectors and/or cables are secured to the base member by clamps (50). Slide mechanisms (60) may be disposed between the clamps and the base member such that the connectors may be slid apart for inspection and repair while remaining secured to the base member.
