Ethernet cable connector and methods of use thereof

An ethernet cable connector comprising:

• an outer body having an opening configured to receive an inner body;
• wherein insertion of the inner body into the outer body compresses two clamping portions of the inner body against the ethernet cable;
• and
• wherein wires of the ethernet cable wrap partially around a guide member of the inner body and make electrical contact with IDC's located inside the outer body when the inner body is inserted within the outer body.

An ethernet cable connector comprising:

• an inner body;
• an outer body configured to receive the inner body;
• and
• means for attaching the ethernet cable to the connector, wherein the means utilize an orientation of ethernet cable wires wrapped at least partially around at least one component of the inner body to firmly hold the cable in the connector.

A method of retaining an ethernet connector in an ethernet cable connector, the method comprising:

• providing an ethernet cable connector, the connector including:
• an outer body configured to receive an inner body, the inner body having a guide member and a compressible cable clamp;
• wrapping wires of the ethernet cable partially around the guide member so that the wires reside below the guide member and run vertically between the guide member and a front face of the inner body;
• and
• inserting the inner body into the outer body so that the insertion thereof bends the wires over the top of the guide member and compresses the clamp of the inner body against to cable to retain the cable within the connector.
