Abstract
An improved cable connector locking arrangement suitable for D-shell connectors eliminates the standoffs and threaded knobs in standard design and replaces them with tabbed, resilient flanges which snap in place for quick mating and locking of the D-shell connectors. Release bars in the preferred embodiment displace the flanges and hence tabs away from their mating surface for unlocking and disconnection of the connectors.
