ABSTRACT:
A cable and connector assembly in which a longitudinally elongated cable is connected to a connector housing by means of strain bearing cables which have a substantially higher modulus of elasticity than that of the cable conductors. Each strain bearing cable has a free end portion projecting from the free end of the sheath and located laterally outwardly from and arranged one on either side of the free end portions of the conductors. A first conductor connection point is located on the connector member at which an end of the free end portion of the conductor is connected to the connector member. A pair of strain bearing cable connection points on the connector member, each of the strain bearing cable connection points is located laterally outwardly from and one on either side of the first connection point. The free end portions of the strain bearing cables are connected, one at each strain bearing cable connection point, to the connector member in a manner such that any slack which is provided in the free end portions of the strain bearing cables is less than that provided in the free end portion of the conductor such that substantially all of a tensile load applied to the conductor member by a load applied to the cable assembly will be transmitted to the connector member through the strain bearing cables at the strain bearing cable connection points.
