Cables can pull out,
given a bit of a tug. I use solder/clamped connectors and always solder
the braid to the clamping sleeve. Never had a failure.....
After I got out of the Navy, I worked as a Marine Electrician, installing
equipment on Navy ships. My foreman told me that it is rarely done, but the
Navy can perform a Quality Assurance "pull test" of 25 lbs on a connector.
I think that's a lot of pull for a connector to withstand.
