A cable fitting which secures and provides strain relief for a cable passing therethrough is capable of use with a wide range of cable diameters. A grommet assembly disposed within the cable body and compressed by a nut has an insert which is removably disposed in the grommet of the grommet assembly and is in an interlocking relationship with the grommet so that the insert does not appreciably move axially with respect to the grommet.

A cable fitting having an externally threaded tubular body through which the cable extends, said body having an inside surface a portion of which is tapered in shape, a grommet assembly in said body, and a nut threaded on one end of said body also having an opening through which said cable extends for compressing said grommet assembly to secure the cable within the fitting, characterized in that said grommet assembly has a grommet with a conical outside surface which is tapered in a direction opposite to said tapered portion of said inside surface of said body so that said grommet is compressed both radially and axially by said nut, said grommet being of compressible elastomeric material with an insert also of compressible elastomeric material separate from said grommet and removably disposed therein for decreasing the inside cross section of said grommet assembly, whereby said grommet and said insert cover a range of cable cross sections larger than said grommet alone, said insert and said grommet being in such interlocking relationship as to limit axial movement of said insert during compressing of said grommet assembly and when said cable is pulled against the fittings, said interlocking being sufficient to prevent the insert from popping and pulling out of said grommet.
