A connector comprising:

• a support;
• and
• a cartridge mounted on the support, the cartridge comprising a fastener for fastening an elongate suspension member to the connecting apparatus;
• wherein the fastener comprises a holder for holding the elongate member, the holder defining a through hole for receiving the elongate member through the holder, the through hole having a holding region and a release region, the holder having cooperating formations at the holding region to cooperate with corresponding formations on the elongate member;
• wherein the holder is movable relative to the support between a holding position and a released position;
• whereby, in the holding position, the elongate member can be received in the holding region, and the cooperating formations of the holder cooperate with the corresponding formations of the elongate member to fasten the elongate member to the holder, and in the released position, the elongate member can be received in the release region, thereby allowing the elongate member to be released from the holder;
• wherein the fastener further comprises a tilting arrangement for tilting the holder between the holding and released positions;
• and
• wherein the fastener further includes a spring to urge the holder to the holding position, and wherein the tilting arrangement comprises a conveying component to convey the holder between the holding and released positions, the spring engaging the conveying component.
