Abstract
A drop-wire connector includes a single pivoted cam having insulation-piercing teeth on opposite surfaces thereof and variable-sized passageways for receiving cables to be connected. The insulation-piercing teeth pierce and electrically interconnect the cables disposed within the variable-sized passageways. The cam is pivoted and oriented so as to decrease the size of the variable-sized passageways in response to pull-out forces exerted on either of the cables.
