Communication connector with wire containment cap for improved cable retention

摘要

A wire containment cap with a flexible seat is presented. The seat sits below an opening in the rear of the wire containment cap. The seat has a base with a pair of flexible members initially extending upwards from opposite sides of the base and then curve towards each other. In one embodiment the ends of the flexible members can curve down and towards each other in order to better conform to the shape of a cable. Alternatively the seat can be replaced with a U-shaped saddle with flexible arms supported by a post.

主权项

1. A wire containment cap comprising:
an opening configured to accept an insertion of a cable; a seat located adjacent to the opening; a strain relief clip configured to move relative to the seat in a direction perpendicular to the insertion of the cable such than the inserted cable could be constrained between the seat and the strain relief clip; and a flexible seating arrangement located on the seat, the flexible seating arrangement including at least one flexible member at least partially interposed between the inserted cable and a remainder of the seat, wherein the at least one flexible member extends from a post protruding from a base of the seat.
