The housing has a main body defining a central longitudinal axis, a connector interface for mating with an electrical connector, and at least one adjustment extension extending from the main body opposite the connector interface and substantially parallel to the central longitudinal axis. An adjustable strain relief structure is coupleable to the cable and the housing. The adjustable strain relief structure including at least one adjustment member cooperating with the adjustment extension of the housing such that the adjustment member is pivotable between different cable positions with respect to the central longitudinal axis of the housing. A movable locking member is coupleable with the adjustment extension of the housing and the adjustment member of the adjustable strain relief structure to releasably lock the adjustment member in a selected cable position with respect to the housing. A biasing member is supported by the locking member. The biasing member biasing the locking member into engagement with the adjustment extension of the housing and the adjustment member. The biasing member allows adjustment of the adjustment member between the different cable positions with respect to the adjustment extension of the housing without disassembly of the housing and the adjustable strain relief structure.
