Contact housing with positioning means for fixing the position of a cable that is prone to kinking

A connector, comprising:

• an outer housing comprising a cable inlet opening, a contact housing, and a receptacle for a mating connector;
• wherein
• the contact housing comprises:
• a contact seat, wherein the contact seat receives a contact end of a first cable that is prone to kinking;
• a cover having a guide element along which the first cable extends;
• a securing element abutting the first cable such that the first cable is in contact with the length of the guide element;
• and
• a contact module receptacle housing a contact module fitted with at least one stranded second cable and connected with the cover such that the cover is in between the first cable and the at least one stranded second cable to restrict the emergence of the at least one stranded second cable from the contact housing.
