Title: Wire connecting sleeve

Abstract: A C-shaped wire connecting sleeve is formed having a plurality of elongated ribs pressed into part of its back portion which in turn is joined by two semi-circular end gripping portions. Upon being compressed about an enclosed wire or cable, the ribs not only strengthen the sleeve to resist undesired opening but minimize the inside radius of the enclosing sleeve to further increase the sleeve's compressive gripping force.
