Abstract

A cable connecting box for accommodating and protecting the connecting portion of cables in narrow spaces while allowing any branch cables to be led out in a free direction from the cable conecting box. The structural arrangement of the cable connecting box has the following features: (1) an opening is formed at one side wall of a two-split case whereby the longer side edges of the opening are facing each other in the depth-wise direction of the case; (2) a core plate of an elastic material which fits between the casing halves seals the casing water-tight; (3) a plurality of cable receptacles are formed between the core plate and each of the casing halves by combining the semicircular grooves of the core plate with the semicircular grooves which are formed in the longer side edge of the opening in a manner to face the former semicircular grooves.
