The present disclosure relates to a bending strain relief (BSR) assembly that limits the bending strain and radius of a marine cable. The BSR assembly includes a coupler attached to first and second elongated BSR members, each BSR member having first and second ends distally spaced from the first end. The first ends including an abutment surface dimensioned for attachment to the coupler. The BSR members each have an inner arcuate surface that is adapted to abut at least a portion of a perimeter of the marine cable and dimensioned for mating receipt with one another at opposing sides of the marine cable. A plurality of rigid support members are disposed in spaced relation and aligned along a common axis and the inner arcuate surfaces of the first and second elongated BSR members. The cable is supported within the inner arcuate surfaces of the first and second BSR members.
