摘要

A stress relief device 2 for a connector 1, which is connected to a cable 5 and configured for cooperating with a complementary connector 1. The strain relieving device comprises: an anchor 10 which places around a portion of the cable so as to allow a stress relief of the portion of the cable adjacent to the connector, a shell 15 which connects to the anchor and at least partially wraps the connector, and a locking system 20 configured for connecting and locking the shell to a similar shell 15 of a similar stress relief device 2 for the complementary connector. The stress relief device is detachably mounted on the connector, and configured such that its mounting/dismounting does not require any change in the connection/disconnection of the connectors to one another. Preferably the locking system comprises a locking half-ring (21, figure 2) and a complimentary locking half-ring (21, figure 4)
