Abstract
Disclosed is a cable connector in which a body portion has an anchor and anchor connector. A cable clamp of flat material with threaded edges at one end is provided with an interior cable grip in the form of a hole. A cable clamp slot is provided in the body of the connector to receive the flat cable clamp. After the strand end of the cable is inserted into the cable grip hole, a cable clamp nut threadedly engages the nut threads of the cable clamp and moves the clamp into a tight gripping relationship with the cable. In assembling, the cable clamp is force-fitted into the cable clamp slot. To assure alignment, and deburring so that the strand end of the cable will enter the connector easily, a tool is employed to align the cable clamp hole with the cable tube portion of the body, while at the same time deburring the table clamp.
