STRAIN RELIEF APPARATUS FOR USE IN A COMMUNICATION PLUG

摘要

A strain relief housing for use in a communication plug terminating a cable carrying a plurality of conductors. The housing includes a plurality of prongs f or segregating the conductors from a cable that is received through a passage in th e housing. Means for anchoring the cable in the passage serve to effectively eliminate stress on the electrical connections with the conductors inside the pl ug. In a preferred embodiment, the strain relief housing segregates the conductors i n a substantially circular array, largely conforming to the arrangement of the conductors in a round cable.
