An apparatus to connect two portions of at least one cable together comprising a male member, a female member and an actuation means. The actuation means is adapted to radially displace the first or second portions of the cables to engage each other. The actuation means typically comprises a tapered rod, and the male member is normally inserted into the female member and the rod is moved along its central axis so that engaging portions abutting against the rod move radially outwards causing the attached cable portions to move radially outward. Secondary portions or the cables are typically positioned around the female member and form a connection with the cables pushed radially outwards
Apparatus to connect first portions of at least two cables to respective second portions of the at least two cables, the apparatus comprising:
Apparatus to connect a first portion of a cable to a second portion of the cable, the apparatus comprising:
A method to connect first portions of at least two cables to second portions of at least two cables, the method comprising the steps of:
A method to connect a first portion of a cable to a second portion of a cable, the method comprising the steps of:
An apparatus comprising a female receptacle with at least one individual connector halve(s) and a male coupler with at least one individual mating connector halve(s) that connect and lock with the individual connector halve(s) of the female receptacle when the male multiway coupler is inserted into the female multiway receptacle and is actuated, wherein the connector actuation mechanism, within the male coupler, consists of a tapered mandrel whose axial travel forces the connector halve(s) radially outwards through holes in the body of the male coupler and into connection with the mating connector halve(s) housed within the female receptacle.
Apparatus to connect a plurality of first conduits to respective second conduits, the apparatus comprising:
