Abstract
A cable assembly includes a housing having a mating end and a cable end and receives a cable through the cable end. The housing has a mounting block proximate to the cable end. A ferrule is configured to be terminated to the cable. The ferrule has an inner bushing and an outer bushing, with the inner and outer bushings cooperating to capture a cable braid of the cable therebetween. The ferrule is retained within the mounting block such that the ferrule is housed interior of the housing.
Claims20
A cable assembly comprising:
- a housing having a mating end and a cable end, the housing being configured to receive a cable through the cable end, the housing having a mounting block proximate to the cable end;
- and
- a ferrule configured to be terminated to the cable, the ferrule having an inner bushing and an outer bushing, the inner and outer bushings cooperating to capture a cable braid of the cable therebetween, the ferrule being retained within the mounting block such that the ferrule is housed interior of the housing.
A cable assembly comprising:
- a housing having a mating end and a cable end, the housing being configured to receive a cable through the cable end, the housing having a mounting block proximate to the cable end, the mounting block having a channel formed therein and a slot formed therein axially offset from the channel;
- a ferrule configured to be terminated to the cable, the ferrule having a lip received within the channel and held in the housing by the channel;
- and
- a retainer configured to be coupled to the cable proximate to an end of the cable, the retainer having tabs extending outward therefrom, the tabs being received in the slot and held in the housing by the slot.

A cable assembly comprising:
- a housing having a mating end and a cable end, the housing being configured to receive a cable through the cable end, the housing having a mounting block proximate to the cable end, the mounting block having a slot formed therein;
- a first cable retainer configured to be coupled to a first cable having a first diameter, the first cable retainer being coupled proximate to an end of the first cable, the first cable retainer having an outer envelope and a first inner diameter corresponding to the first diameter of the first cable;
- and
- a second cable retainer configured to be coupled to a second cable having a second diameter, the second cable retainer being coupled proximate to an end of the second cable, the second cable retainer having an outer envelope and a second inner diameter that is different than the first inner diameter, the second inner diameter corresponding to the second diameter of the second cable;
- wherein the outer envelopes of the first and second cable retainers are substantially similar to each other such that both the first and second cable retainers are configured to be securely retained in the slot of the mounting block of the housing.
