Abstract
Cable strain relief systems are important to protect the cable fiber at the plug or the connector. Cable strain relief systems are conical polymers that allow the fiber within the cable to bend, minimizing the stress where the cabling and the connector adjoin. Strain relief systems allow cable movement without damage to the insulation. Thus, the user is protected. Device life is extended. Strain relief is often provided by a series of ridges at point of cable attachment. This is called a strain relief boot.
Cable strain relief provides extra protection to cables and wiring, and extends cord life.
