ABSTRACT:
A cable end with its terminal or connector is maintained in a curved installed position with the aid of a bent retaining jacket (25A). The jacket is preferably a corrugated metal hose having one end formed into a bushing that is clamped in place on a support body of the connector or terminal together with other cable components such as a protective hose system. The bend maintaining jacket has an inner diameter that is larger than the outer diameter of the protection hose system of the cable so that the jacket may be freely pushed over the cable end prior to the installation of the terminal or connector. The opposite end of the jacket remains open or rather unconnected, thus enabling the jacket to accommodate any twists that result from bending the cable end. Although the jacket is bendable, it has a bend retaining characteristic that will not change its curved configuration in response to impacts, vibrations, or the like. Only an intentional renewed bending can bring the jacket into a new curved shape.
