ABSTRACT:
A wire guide includes first and second tubes (14, 16) having first and second perpendicular axes (22, 26), with the second tube having a backshell (40) that is pivotable about the first axis on the first tube rear end, so wires (30) can be routed in a variety of directions. The first tube rear end and the backshell are pivotally connected by a pair of balls (34, 36) that each lies in a groove (44) in the first tube rear end and in a hole (50) in the backshell portion. A strain relief member lying largely in the first tube rear portion has a through hole (82) extending along the first axis, an outside that forms a 360° groove (84), and at least one end slot (90, 92) that connects the hole to the groove. A wire (30) can extend through much of the hole, then through a slot to the groove and around the groove, and then back through a slot.
