Abstract

A tension-relieving assembly for electrical and/or optical conductors of a cable, wherein the conductors, which are guided in parallel in the cable, are held in a cable-guiding part and are inserted in conductor-guiding ducts in a conductor-guiding part, and wherein the axes of the conductors in the cable-guiding part and in the conductor-guiding part are offset relative to one another. The conductor-guiding part is provided, at the lead-in end for the conductors, with an annular collar, and a central peg is disposed in the annular collar. The cable-guiding part is constructed, at the conductor exit end, with a stepped recess, such that when the cable-guiding part and conductor-guiding part are joined together, the central peg is pressed between the conductors and forces the conductors outwards against the inner contour of the stepped recess in the cable-guiding part.
