Abstract
A communications cable anchoring member for use in a strain relief connector assembly is a compression ring which has an elongated body with front and rear faces and an axial bore extending between the faces. The bore forms a peripheral wall with the exterior of the body in which is an array of slots extending part of the distance between the faces. Alternate slots extend from opposite faces of the body. The exterior surface of the body is tapered to fit within the tapered bore of a strain relief plug of the connector, and latching members on the exterior surface latch the ring body to the plug.
