Abstract
A protective sleeve disposed around a cable and a connector which are connected includes a cable sleeve and a plurality of resilient elements. The cable sleeve includes a bushing, a first ring, and a second ring. The front of the bushing is connected to the connector. The first ring and the second ring are disposed around the cable. The resilient elements are formed by extending the second ring and spaced apart from each other to form an opening for penetration by the cable. The caliber of the opening is less than the caliber of the second ring. Accordingly, the resilient elements are conducive to the positioning of the cable while the cable is penetrating the rings.
Claims11
A protective sleeve disposed around a cable and a connector which are connected, the protective sleeve comprising:
- a cable sleeve comprising a bushing, a first ring, and a second ring, the bushing having a front connected to the connector;
- the first ring formed by extending the bushing backward and disposed around the cable;
- the second ring having a front connected to the first ring, wherein the second ring and the first ring are spaced apart from each other and disposed around the cable;
- and
- a plurality of resilient elements formed by extending a rear of the second ring backward by a predetermined length and spaced apart from each other to form an opening for penetration by the cable, wherein a caliber of the opening is less than a caliber of the second ring, each of the resilient elements having an arm and a first bump, the arm having an end connected to the second ring and tilting toward an imagined central axis of the opening, the first bump being disposed at another end of the arm and facing a center of the opening, the first bumps of the resilient elements abutting against the cable while the cable penetrates the first ring and the second ring.
A protective sleeve disposed around a cable and a connector which are connected, the protective sleeve comprising:
- a cable sleeve having a front connected to the connector and the cable, and having a front aperture and a rear aperture communicating with each other;
- and
- a plurality of resilient elements formed by extending a rear of the cable sleeve backward by a predetermined length and spaced apart from each other to form an opening for penetration by the cable, wherein a caliber of the opening is less than a caliber of the rear aperture of the cable sleeve, each of the resilient elements having an arm and a first bump, the arm having an end connected to the second ring and tilting toward an imagined central axis of the opening, the bump being disposed at another end of the arm and facing a center of the opening, the first bumps of the resilient elements abutting against the cable while the cable penetrates the first ring and the second ring.
A network cable assembly, comprising:
- a cable;
- a connector connected to the cable;
- a protective sleeve, comprising:
- a cable sleeve comprises a bushing, a first ring, and a second ring, the bushing having a front connected to the connector;
- the first ring formed by extending the bushing backward and disposed around the cable;
- the second ring having a front connected to the first ring, wherein the second ring and the first ring are spaced apart from each other and disposed around the cable;
- and
- a plurality of resilient elements formed by extending a rear of the second ring backward by a predetermined length and spaced apart from each other to form an opening for penetration by the cable, wherein a caliber of the opening is less than a caliber of the second ring, the resilient elements having an arm and a first bump, the arm having an end connected to the second ring and tilting toward an imagined central axis of the opening, the first bump being disposed at another end of the arm and facing a center of the opening, the first bumps of the resilient elements abutting against the cable while the cable penetrates the first ring and the second ring.
