Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An adjustable cable egress mechanism (12) for cable connectors (10) includes a protective hood (30), and a hub (60) mounted inside the hood for rotation about a hub axis. The hub has a cable passage (88), and the hood has an outside wall with an elongated cable egress slot (74). The egress slot opens into the cable passage in the hub over a predetermined range of angular positions of the hub. Thus, a cable whose conductors terminate in an associated connector can be routed through the egress slot in the hood and the cable passage in the hub, and the cable rotated with the hub to a desired egress angle within the predetermined range. In the illustrated embodiment, the finger hub is engaged by latch (66) formed on part of the hood to hold the cable at the desired egress angle.
