A cable breakout assembly includes: a cable including a plurality of signal-carrying members enclosed in a protective jacket; a plurality of connector modules, each of the connector modules having at least one side wall and a connector mounted thereto, wherein the connector modules are arranged in serial relationship along an axis, with a gap between adjacent connector modules; and at least one flex member extending between the connector modules that substantially prevents the axial spacing of the gaps between adjacent connector modules from increasing, but enables adjacent connector modules to flex about the axis relative to each other. Each of the signal carrying-members is connected with a respective connector.
