Abstract:
A device and method for controlling strain in a transmission line such as a power or signal transmitting wire, cable or other conduit. The device includes a body having at least one cavity formed therein for receipt of at least a portion of a transmission line. Multiple openings formed in the body allow the transmission line to extend from the at least one cavity and external to the body. The at least one cavity is defined to include a peripheral boundary formed at least partially by a first substantially linear wall and a second opposing wall which deviates from the first wall, thereby forming a deviation path for the transmission line disposed therein. A cover may be provided to cooperatively mate with the body such that it conceals the cavity or cavities formed therein.
