Adjustable angle assembly for providing a transition from a cable to a connector

A backshell device for connection to a connector to provide strain relief and bend control of a cable connected to the connector, the backshell device comprising:

• a pivotal backshell assembly having a first end and a second end, the first end being configured for connection to the connector and the second end being configured to accommodate the cable, the first end being defined by a backshell body and the second end being defined by a cable management structure, wherein the backshell body and the cable management structure are pivotally moveable about a pivot axis relative to each other between a plurality of different angular positions;
• and
• the pivotal backshell assembly including an angular retention arrangement for allowing the pivotal backshell assembly to be set at a selected one of the different angular positions, the angular retention arrangement including at least one projection and a plurality of receptacles, the plurality of receptacles being positioned about the pivot axis, the at least one projection being received in different ones of the receptacles to vary the angular position of the pivotal backshell assembly, the angular retention arrangement being resiliently movable in an orientation along the pivot axis between a first state in which the angular position of the pivotal backshell assembly is adjustable and a second state in which the at least one projection is received within a corresponding one of the receptacles to lock the pivotal backshell assembly in a selected one of the angular positions, and wherein the backshell body and the cable management structure include a mating pivot guide arrangement for guiding pivotal movement of the pivotal backshell assembly about the pivot axis, the pivot guide arrangement being unitarily integrated with the backshell body and the cable management structure.
