ABSTRACT:
An ethernet cable connector for coupling an ethernet cable and providing contact between insulated wires of the ethernet cable and insulation displacement contacts within the connector. The connector includes an inner body having a clamp, a plurality of holes and a plurality of recesses transverse to the plurality of holes. Each hole receives a wire of an ethernet cable. The outer body is operatively coupled to the inner body and is configured to couple insulation displacement contacts within the outer body. The insertion of the inner body within the outer body bends the wires of the ethernet cable to rest within the plurality of recesses of the inner body, engages the insulation displacement contacts with the ethernet wires and compresses the clamp around a portion of the ethernet cable, thereby providing strain reduction to the ethernet wires.
