Abstract
A pass through fitting for a cable or the like comprises a split bolt having a threaded shank and a nut which can be locked on the shank to prevent rotation therebetween. A passageway extends through the split bolt for receiving one or more cables. The fitting would be supported in a structure, such as a boat hull, through which it is desired to run the cable. The fitting may be sealed at the head, against the structure, to be watertight.
