Patent ID: 7163417

Claim:
A connector plug for a multi-conductor cable including a set of power conductors and a set of signal conductors, comprising a casing with a cable receiving opening at its rear end, a number of contact elements at its forward end connected to said power conductors and said signal conductors and arranged to engage contact elements on a connectable matching connector plug or jack, and a transition chamber located in said casing between said cable receiving opening and said contact elements and penetrated by said power conductors and said signal conductors, wherein said transition chamber comprises a coiling core element mounted in said casing and forming a separate routing path for each one of said set of power conductors and said set of signal conductors, and wherein each routing path provides an added length and a slack in each one of said set of power conductors and said set of signal conductors to absorb cable bending related length changes of said power conductors and said signal conductors.
