Abstract
A self-locking cable connector especially useful in wireline data telemetry operations or wellbore logging comprises a plug and receptacle. A locking sleeve assembly acts to lock a key on the plug into a circumferential keyway on the receptacle, when the plug is inserted into the receptacle to form an electrical connection. Seals keep the connectors isolated from the drilling fluid which is circulated during rotary drilling. The cable connector may pass through rig sheaves and may be spooled with the cable.
