Abstract
A strain relief housing for use in a modular communication plug has a divider member dividing a central bore of the plug into four channels, each channel being adapted to contain two conductors from the cable being terminated. Septa members extend from the rear of the divider to the rear of the housing and are insertable into the cable so that separation and segregation of the conductors actually commences within the cable. A compression ring surrounds the cable and is insertable within the rear of the plug housing where it is compressed to clamp or anchor the cable.
