Abstract
Abstract An angled rotatable cable connector is described. The cable connector has a first end for attaching to a termination point of a cable, and a second end adapted to attach to a fixed panel-mounted mating connector. The first end and second end of the cable connector are supplied as sub-assemblies, mounted within a common outer body, so that, after connection, both the cable attached to the first end, and the connector, attached to the mating connector, remain free to rotate around their respective axes.
