Cable Connectors – What are they?

Cable Connectors:

Ever wondered what is the  metal piece between two wires?
Well, its a cable connector (also known as butt connectors). Cable connectors are devices used for connecting cables to other cables.

The part of a cable that plugs into a port or interface to connect one device to another. Most connectors are either male (containing one or more exposed pins) or female (containing holes in which the male connector can be inserted).

Cable Connectors are lugs crimped to the ends of cables and these connectors provide the best electrical joint between two cable. The joint serves in both mechanical strength and as well as electrical strength . It may be provided with safety covering to avoid shocks and short circuits.

The Image below illustrates how cable connectors are used in connections. The red colour covering is the protective covering to the cable connector. One end of the connector is crimped to the the socket wires; And the other end is to be crimped to another cable.
