Modular Back Shell Apparatus for Circular Connectors

摘要

A back shell apparatus receives a cable having conductors extending through the apparatus for attaching to a connector. The back shell includes at least two clam shell halves that mate to surround the conductors. The back shell allows for angular configurations of the cable and connector by including flexible bellows through which the conductors extend. The bellows are respectively expandable and retractable about the conductors. The back shell apparatus further includes a modular cable adapter that receives a respectively sized cable terminus from which the conductors extend into the bellows toward a connector. The back shell apparatus further includes a coupling nut adapter holding a respectively sized coupling nut that mates with the connector.
