Protect the wires from shorts to the underside of the PCB module (the pins for the connectors poke through the board). The pins can be sharp and can rip through the insulation material.
Connector pins are highlighted in blue here (this is a view of the underside of the PCB.
Provide strain relief - I need to make a confluence page on why this is important
...
The area with all 14 wires going through it at the top will be filled with a rubbery glue - to provide some strain relief to the cables.
A note here that probably no one will ever read - For the right angle cable crimps, we should have gone with these ones that support the insulation of the cables as well: https://www.digikey.ca/en/products/detail/te-connectivity-amp-connectors/61481-1/294358. They are $0.10 more expensive each.
