Abstract
A cable connector assembly having a cable terminating in a molded end and a cable-orienting device shaped and configured to bend the cable with respect to the molded end. Preferably, the cable-orienting device is in the form of a tubular body formed to maintain the cable at any desired angle and orientation with respect to the molded end. The cable-orienting device preferably is easily removable and insertable over the cable such that the cable-orienting device may be removed, or its position along the cable or orientation with respect to the cable may be adjusted. Moreover, the cable-orienting device may be rotatable once positioned over the cable to vary the orientation of the cable with respect to the molded end.
