Abstract
A grommet for relieving tension or strain when securing a cable in an aperture comprising two generally circular in cross section, tubular rotatably and coaxially disposed telescoping clamping members with the inner cross section of the outer member deviating from the circular cross section and with the inner member being slotted at one of its ends, in an axial direction over part of its length to form clamping jaws having rising or tapering projections thereon disposed within said outer member and which cause the clamping jaws to engage and lock the cable when the members are rotated relative to each other.
