Muscle connector (6)

I believe the answer is:

tendon

(Other definitions for tendon that I've seen before include "horse's hamstring" , "Strong tissue that connects muscle" , "Strong cord of bodily tissue" , "Tissue connecting a muscle with its bony attachment" , "Strong cord of tissue connecting muscle" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate.
