摘要

A cable management system is provided for a connector assembly. A housing has a plurality of passages for receiving the terminating ends of a plurality of cables. The passages open at a rear face of the housing. The cables have enlarged retention sections spaced from the terminating ends thereof. A backshell extends away from the rear face of the housing and includes an angled cavity within which the cables extend at an angle from the rear face of the housing. A plurality of retention recesses in the cavity capture the enlarged retention sections of the cables. The retention recesses are at varying locations in a direction longitudinally of the cables to accommodate the different locations of the passages from which the cables emanate.
