A connector assembly includes a flexible cable that includes a casing, a plurality of electrical wires each having a first portion encapsulated by the casing and a second portion extending beyond the casing, and a fiber having a first portion encapsulated by the casing and a second portion extending beyond the casing. The connector assembly further includes a housing having a first end to receive the flexible cable and a second end with a connector to connect with another connector, and a circuit board disposed in the housing. The circuit board includes first terminals to connect with the plurality of electrical wires, second terminals to connect with the connector, a plurality of traces coupling respective first terminals with respective second terminals, and a cleat. The second portion of the fiber extends beyond the casing to the cleat and winds around the cleat.

Circuit board with anchor cleat for a connector

Cable retention assemblies for use with head mounted displays are disclosed herein. In various embodiments, a head mounted display has a front display module containing a circuit board operatively coupled to the displays and having a first connector. A connection cable with a second connector is releasably connected to the first connector. A cable retention assembly attached to the front display module adjacent to the first connector has a cable receptacle releasably engaging the second connector and retaining the second connector in a substantially fix position relative to the first connector to substantially isolate the first connector from axial or torsional loads applied to the cable.
