Abstract
A cord assembly for an electronic device includes a cord having an insulation layer with a first end and an exterior surface, as well as at least one electrical conductor extending within the insulation layer. A strength member also extends within the insulation layer and includes a first end extending beyond the first end of the insulation layer. A securing element couples the first end of the strength member with the first end of the insulation layer along the exterior surface. The strength member is pre-tensioned to carry any additional tensile loads on the cord, at least initially. The cord assembly may also include a strain relief member molded over the first end of the strength member and the securing element.
