Claim Text:
1. A cable connector kit comprising: a first cable connector configured to be mounted onto a panel, the first cable connector defining a first mating end configured to mate with a complementary electrical component when the first cable connector is mounted onto the panel, the first mating end including a first upper end surface and a first lower end surface spaced from the upper end surface along a transverse direction, and the first cable connector further defining a first mounting end spaced from the first mating end along a longitudinal direction, perpendicular to the transverse direction, the first mounting end defining first and second cable retaining apertures that are each configured to retain a respective one of a pair of cables electrically connected to the first cable connector, the first and second cable retaining apertures being spaced from one another in a first direction that extends along a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction; and a second cable connector configured to be mounted onto the panel, the second cable connector defining a second mating end constructed identically with respect to the first mating end and configured to mate with the complementary electrical component when the second cable connector is mounted onto the panel, the second mating end including a second upper end surface that is identical to the first upper end surface and a second lower end surface that is identical to the first lower end surface, the second cable connector further defining a second mounting end that is spaced from the second mating end along the longitudinal direction and that defines first and second cable retaining apertures that are each configured to retain a respective one of a pair of cables electrically connected to the second cable connector, the first and second cable retaining apertures of the second cable connector being spaced from one another in a second direction, wherein when the second upper end surface is spaced from the second lower end surface along the transverse direction, the second direction is angularly offset with respect to the first direction and extends along a plane that is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction.
