Abstract
Abstract A connector for electric cable joints or splices has an adjustable collar on each connector end, the connector ends serving to join the cables and the collars serving to electrically connect the connector structure to the connector cavity shield, to provide an efficient heat path from the connector, and to prevent any cable adaptor tube from moving into the connector cavity.
