  • Patent number: 7544095
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable connector with a housing including a base extending along a longitudinal axis of the cable connector. The base includes a cable entry portion for accommodating a ferrule system of a cable and a further portion extending from said cable entry portion along said longitudinal axis. The further portion includes one or more mounting structures. The base also includes a housing part with one or more mounting elements adapted to cooperate with said mounting structures to mount the housing part to the base to complete said housing at said further portion. The mounting structures and mounting elements are structured such that said housing part is forced towards said base when said housing part is moved along said longitudinal axis from a mounting position to a mounted position. Accordingly a tight fitting and easily assembled cable connector is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20080318476
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable connector assembly including a cable connector with metallic cover shells and a cable, said cable including a shielding braid in electrical connection with at least one of said metallic cover shells. A portion of said shielding braid is folded back over a support member provided for said cable to clamp said portion of said shielding braid between said support member and at least one of said metallic cover shells in a clamping portion of said cable connector. Accordingly a cable connector assembly is obtained with improved mechanical and electromagnetic shielding characteristics. The support member is not crimped on the cable jacket and may include multiple parts. The invention further relates to a cable connector and a method for assembling a cable to a cable connector.

  • Patent number: 7442072
    Abstract: The invention relates to a cable connector including a housing with a base substantially extending between a front side and a rear side of said connector and a first housing part mountable to said base such that said first housing part and a first portion of said base determine a cable passage configured to accommodate a ferrule arrangement of a cable. The cable passage includes at least one recessed portion configured to receive a corresponding protrusion of said ferrule arrangement or vice versa Accordingly a high density cable connector is obtained with improved cable relief performance.
