METAL CLAD CABLE CONNECTOR Abstract of the Disclosure A connector for metal clad cable that is easily made up and disassembled and is readily reusable. The connector includes a tubular body, a split grounding ring with straight and angled leading tines and angled trailing tabs slidably received in the body, an annular rubber grommet engaging the tabs on the grounding ring and received in the body, and a tubular closure threaded to the body for maintaining the grounding ring and grommet therein. The metal clad cable can be easily coupled to the connector by merely inserting an end of the cable through the closure, grommet and grounding ring, the angled leading tines and grommet engaging the outer surface of the cable. The cable can be easily uncoupled from the connector by unthreading the closure, pulling the cable out of the tubular body with the grounding ring and grommet attached thereto, and removing the ring and grommet from the cable. Since the grounding ring is split, it is readily removed from the cable and can be reused. To further couple the cable to the connector, a braided open wire mesh sleeve is attached to the tubular closure.
