| Summary: | A cable connector includes a plurality of terminals mounted inside an insulative housing and having solder sections extending outwardly of the housing for connection with a bulk cable having twisted pairs of wires. A twist pair strain relief device is disposed adjacent to the solder sections, and has an insulative body which has a first side facing the solder sections and an opposite second side. A plurality of passages are formed in the body to receive the respective twisted pairs in a twisted state. Each passage has a clamping unit to clamp the corresponding twisted pair so as to prevent the pair from being untwisted and to act as a strain relief when the twisted pairs are subjected to external forces. |
