A connector for housed cables, such as Bowden cables, has attached to either side of it the housings 12 of two housed cables, the housings being held sufficiently far apart to allow access to connect and disconnect the cables 11, 13. The cables may be attached by a connecting unit, such as piston 2, which may line up the cables, and may comprise a recessed slot 3 to retain a cable termination 8. The connecting unit may have a recessed slot 14 on its outer surface to provide space for excess cable. Preferably a hole and pin locate the connecting unit during calibration. An access slot 9 may allow access to the cable connections, and a slot 10 may be removed to allow excess cable to be cut off or repositioned. The cable connections may be secured by rotating a structure 1 around the connection point.
