Cable connector assembly and a method for assembling the cable connector assembly

A method of assembling a cable connector, the method comprising:

• disposing a first fastening member and a first clamping member on a first cable and a second fastening member and a second clamping member on a second cable;
• pulling one of the first cable and the second cable through a housing member of the cable connector;
• fastening the first cable and the second cable to at least one terminal block;
• inserting the at least one terminal block within the housing member of the cable connector through one of a first end and a second end of the housing member;
• sealably engaging the first clamping member and the second clamping member with a first engaging portion extending from the first end and a second engaging portion extending from the second end, respectively, of the housing member;
• engaging the first fastening member and the second fastening member with the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, respectively;
• and
• rotating each of the first fastening member and the second fastening member with respect to the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion, respectively, for deformably compressing the first clamping member to clamp the first cable and the second clamping member to clamp the second cable.

A cable connector assembly comprising:

• a housing member comprising a first engaging portion and a second engaging portion extending from a first end and a second end;
• a first clamping member adapted to be partially inserted in the first engaging portion of the housing member and a second clamping member adapted to be partially inserted in the second engaging portion of the housing member,
• wherein the first clamping member and the second clamping member further comprise a deformable portion comprising a plurality of longitudinal tabs adapted to be elastically deformed in a radial direction;
• a first fastening member adapted to engage with the first engaging portion, wherein the first fastening member is configured to partially accommodate the first clamping member and elastically deform the first clamping member to clamp the first cable;
• and
• a second fastening member to engage with the second engaging portion, wherein the second fastening member is configured to partially accommodate the second clamping member and to elastically deform the second clamping member to clamp the second cable.
