Electrical device having a ground termination component with strain relief

An electrical device, comprising:

• a substrate having a plurality of signal contacts and a ground contact along a surface of the substrate;
• a communication cable including a differential pair of signal conductors, and a grounding element that surrounds the signal conductors;
• wherein each of the signal conductors has a wire-terminating end that is terminated to a corresponding signal contact of the substrate;
• and
• a ground termination component electrically coupled with the ground contact, the ground termination component having a strain relief element engaged with at least a portion of the communication cable;
• wherein the strain relief element includes a connective terminal electrically coupled to the grounding element.

An electrical device, comprising:

• a substrate having a plurality of signal contacts and a ground contact along a surface of the substrate;
• a communication cable including a differential pair of signal conductors, at least one insulator surrounding the signal conductors, a grounding element that circumferentially surrounds the signal conductors and the at least one insulator along the communication cable, and a cable jacket surrounding the signal conductors and grounding element;
• wherein each of the signal conductors has a wire-terminating end that is terminated to a corresponding signal contact of the substrate, the wire-terminating end projecting beyond a jacket edge of the cable jacket;
• the cable jacket having an access opening providing access to the grounding element along a portion of the communication cable;
• and
• a ground termination component electrically coupled with the ground contact, the ground termination component having a strain relief element engaged with at least a portion of the communication cable, wherein the strain relief element includes a connective terminal electrically coupled to the grounding element at the access opening.
