Abstract
A method of making a data cable includes coupling an electrical conductor of an end of a cable to an electrical contact that is positioned within a portion of a connector housing. A protective clamp is positioned over a section of the cable rearwardly of the electrical contact. Another portion of the connector housing is formed over the cable section and the clamp, to thereby secure the cable with the connector housing. The protective clamp is positioned between the formed portion of the connector housing and the cable section and provides mechanical protection for the cable section to reduce damage thereto.
