Cable connection

A dry mate cable connection (40) comprises a data cable (4). The data cable comprises a plurality of electrical conductors (23) and at least one electrically insulating outer layer surrounding each data conductor, whereby the data conductors (23) are electrically insulated from one another. The cable comprises a termination end. The outer layer of each conductor is physically in contact with an outer layer of an adjacent conductor, except at the termination end. The electrical conductors (23) at the termination end are physically separated from one another by an electrically insulating overmoulded cable termination housing (43), over the electrically insulating layer. The cable termination housing may comprise individual extensions, extending, at least partially, over the electrically insulating layer of each physically separated conductor (23) in the termination end, and sealingly engage with an outer surface of the insulating layer of each core. The cable termination housing may comprise a face seal for sealing against a corresponding sealing surface of a data cluster housing in the back end of the plug or receptacle.
