A tamper-resistant terminator includes a connector body rotatably encapsulated within a shield. A port in the shield receives a terminal of a cable transmission system therethrough for rotational engagement with a threaded bore within the connector body. Another port in the shield provides access to a socket defined by a smooth continuous cylindrical body. The socket and the threaded bore extend in opposite directions along a longitudinal axis about which the shield is freely rotatable. A tool includes a tubular shaft having a knurled portion at the free end extends from a first handle section. A disc residing adjacent the end of the tubular shaft is carried by a shaft rotatably journaled with the tubular shaft and drivingly engaged with a second handle section. In response to relative rotation between the handle sections the disc and the knurled section of the tubular shaft move between a concentric portion for telescoping movement within the socket of the connector body and an eccentric position in for driving engagement with the socket.
A tool especially adapted for use in combination with a cable transmission system, said system including:
