A device for providing strain relief for a cable extending into a connector. The device includes a body having a cable receiving opening extending therethrough and having structure for securing the cable substantially about the periphery thereof. The securing structure restrains the cable against rearward movement and is movable from an inoperative position to an operative position. The device further includes structure for moving the securing structure from the inoperative position to the operative position and structure independent of the securing structure for maintaining the securing structure in the operative position. With these features of construction, a fiber optic cable having an optical fiber terminated in a fiber optic connector can be provided with strain relief utilizing the device.
