Abstract
The split open dead end cable connector includes two hinged halves with half circular serrated channels which align when the halves are in a closed position to form a serrated aperture for engaging the fiber optical cable. Lateral taper rail segments are likewise formed on the sides of the hinged halves which align when the halves are in a closed position to form tapered rails. Sliding wedges with internal channels complementary to the tapered rails are used to urge the halves together into a closed position. Prongs of a U-bail pass through loops formed on the sides of the halves of the body and the sliding wedges. Nuts threadably attached to the prongs of the U-bail secure the connector together and urge the sliding wedges to a position urging the halve to a closed position.
