[0029] The present patent application is further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0030] like Figure 1-3As shown, a cable connector for single-phase insulated and sealed connection of electric pump cables is used. In actual application, the cable connector is used to connect a first cable 8 with a second cable 9. It includes: a pressing cylinder 1, a first joint 2, a second joint 3, a first rubber sleeve 4 and a second rubber sleeve 5 arranged in the pressing cylinder 1, wherein the first joint 2 is connected to the second joint 3.
