Abstract
An elbow connection (1) of at least one cable (7) producing a mechanical connection and a cable connection on a flat face (1a) of an equipment item and having a strain relief (5) composed of two half-shells (5a, 5j) providing a protection for each cable (7) in the case of stress by at least one longitudinal groove (5e) disposed at the interface thereof.
Claims9
An elbow connection (1) of at least one cable (7) having a central section (2) oriented in a direction (Z) at right angles to a flat face (1a) of an equipment item to be connected by the flat face, the central section (2) being linked to at least two ends of the cable connection (1) in a direction (Z), a connection end (3) connecting to the flat face (1a) and at least one open end (4) prolonged by a fork (4a) with two branches (4b) in a longitudinal direction (X) and extending in a plane oriented according to an angle (alpha) that is acute with the direction (Z) of the central section (2), the fork (4a) and the central section (2) forming a cable protection conduit (7), the branches (4b) being terminally linked (4c) to a support (4d), wherein the support (4d) houses a strain relief (5) composed of two half-shells (5a, 5j) each having an outer face (5b), two bearing faces (5d) at right angles to the longitudinal direction (X) and an inner face (5c), and at least one cable gripping groove (5e) extends over at least one of the inner faces (5c) along the longitudinal direction (X).
