Abstract
A cable connector having a body, a connection means, and a support member. A cable or wire runs through the body and to the connection means. The connection means allows the cable connector to removably engage a device designed to accept a cable. The support member provides lateral support to the cable. The support member prevents excessive forces from reaching a device to which the cable connector is attached by resisting or absorbing, rather than transmitting, such forces.
