ABSTRACT:
A mechanical strain relief for a cable is firmly attached directly to the using of the connector to which the cable termination is plugged into. The strain relief has a split clamp aligned perpendicularly to the cable and extends from the housing sufficiently such that the clamp does not interfere with the use of a watertight rubber boot bonded to the housing to make the connector watertight. The clamp is opened and the cable is inserted into the connector. The clamp is then closed and tightened against the cable, such that any forces on the cable are transmitted through the strain relief to the housing. A guard extends from the strain relief and is shaped to loop around the cable to provide protection for the connector from foreign objects which would otherwise strike the termination or connector.
