Abstract
A quick connect and disconnect arrangement for a cable comprises a housing for holding the cable. The housing comprises a first section and a second section. One of the first section and the second section comprises a protruding lug having an aperture therein and the other of the first section and the second section comprises a locking system. The locking system comprises a channel, an opening disposed along a portion of the channel and for receiving the lug, and a bolt configured to move within the channel. When, in use, the housing is closed around the cable, the lug is positioned in the opening, the channel is aligned with the aperture and the bolt is configured to move within the channel in order to engage with the aperture and thereby retain the lug in the opening.
