Abstract
A connector comprises a housing in a form of a bent tube. The housing includes a first tubular portion, a second tubular portion, and a bent portion connected between the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion. The first tubular portion and the second tubular portion extend at an angle of more than 0 degree and less than 180 degrees relative to each other. The housing is adapted to hold a cable extending through an interior thereof, wherein the cable is bent within the bent portion.

A connector, comprising:
- a housing in a form of a bent tube, including:
- a first tubular portion;
- a second tubular portion;
- and
- a bent portion connected between the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion, the first tubular portion and the second tubular portion extending at an angle of more than 0 degree and less than 180 degrees relative to each other, the housing adapted to hold a cable extending through an interior thereof, wherein the cable is bent within the bent portion;
- and
- a spacer located in the first tubular portion, an end of the spacer facing the bent portion is trumpet-shaped to form a trumpet portion adapted to guide the cable held in the housing to extend and bend from the first tubular portion to the second tubular portion at the trumpet portion.
