Abstract
An electrically conductive cable is held within the inner bore of a well tool connected to coiled tubing by a clamp which comprises a split ring having radially outwardly extending lug portions on the split ends of the ring. The lug portions are located within a longitudinally upward slot of a sleeve located within the inner bore of the well tool. Upon application of tensional force to the cable, the lugs of the split ring clamp are drawn into the taper thereby compressing the split ring in tighter engagement with the outer surface of the cable.
