The present invention is directed to a connector, comprising a first connector segment having a laterally extending flange, and a second connector segment having a body and a pair of opposed retainers adapted to releaseably maintain the first and second connector segments in mated relationship. Each of the retainers has a lever spaced laterally from the second connector segment body, the lever being joined to the second connector segment, body at a base end and having a latch at a free end. The lever is also joined to the second connector segment body by a fulcrum wall positioned intermediate the ends of the lever, an outwardly facing cam surface is provided on the lever between the fulcrum wall and the base end. A slide ring is disposed over the second connector segment retainers, the slide ring being moveable from a first position adjacent the latch of each retainer to a second position of engagement with the cam surface of each retainer. The latch of each retainer is engageable with the flange of the first connector segment to prevent uncoupling of the first and second connector segments. The latches of each retainer are locked in engagement with the first connector segment flange when the slide ring is in the first position, and the latches of each retainer are disengaged from the first connector segment flange to thereby permit uncoupling of the connector segments when the slide ring is in the second position.
