Abstract
A strain relief assembly includes a top plate and a bottom plate. The top plate defines a plurality of top ports configured to receive a plurality of cables at a first point. The bottom plate defines a plurality of bottom ports configured to receive the plurality of cables at a second point. The strain relief assembly is movable between an open position and a closed position. In the open position, the plurality of top ports and the plurality of bottom ports collectively define a first passage area. In the closed position, the plurality of top ports and the plurality of bottom ports collectively define a second passage area smaller than the first passage area.
Claims18
A strain relief assembly comprising:
- a top plate and a bottom plate, wherein
- the top plate defines a plurality of top ports configured to receive a plurality of cables at a first point,
- at least a portion of a perimeter of the plurality of top ports is sloped,
- the bottom plate defines a plurality of bottom ports configured to receive the plurality of cables at a second point,
- the strain relief assembly is movable between an open position and a closed position,
- in the open position, the plurality of top ports and the plurality of bottom ports collectively define a first passage area, and
- in the closed position, the plurality of top ports and the plurality of bottom ports collectively define a second passage area smaller than the first passage area.
A strain relief assembly for a plurality of cables comprising:
- a bottom plate comprising an overlap edge and defining a plurality of bottom ports;
- and
- a top plate defining a plurality of top ports, wherein at least a portion of a perimeter of the plurality of top ports is sloped, the top plate being movable between an open position and a closed position, in the open position the top plate is retained to the bottom plate via the overlap edge, and in the closed position the top plate is immovably coupled to the bottom plate.
