1. An electrical connector and cable termination system comprising:

  • a first connector body part housing at least one conductive connector member, the first connector body part being adapted to mate with a second corresponding connector body part;

    an outlet body mounted on the first connector body part;

    a cable having a conductive screen which is fixedly attached to the outlet body, and at least one conductor inside the screen being fixedly connected to the at least one connector member, the cable approaching the outlet body at an angle to the major mating axis of the connector; and

    the outlet body and the first connector body part being arranged for relative rotation about the major mating axis of the connector, and having;

    retention means for inhibiting relative axial movement of the outlet body and the first connector body part;

    rotation-limiting engaging means on the outlet part and the first connector body part for permitting relative rotation by at least 180°

    but inhibiting relative rotation in excess of 360°

    ; and

    an O-ring of resilient material between the outlet body and the first connector body part and adapted to provide a limited degree of frictional resistance to the relative rotation of the outlet body and the first connector body part.
