Abstract
A tail end assembly of an electrical connector includes an electrical cable and a coupling assembly. The electrical cable includes a plurality of electrically conductive wires. The coupling assembly defines an internal spacing and is coupled to the electrical cable such that the electrically conductive wires extend through the internal spacing. The coupling assembly is configured to detachably couple the tail end assembly to the electrical connector.
