A cable connector having a lock nut and a connector body can accommodate strain relief elements, such as grommets, for securing different types of cables. The connector body has two or more axially extending fingers axially coincident with the grommet. Each finger is connected to the connector body by at least two radially separated discrete tabs forming an axial separation between the connector body and the associated finger. Relative axial movement of the lock nut towards the connector body causes radial contraction of the axially extending fingers from the first rest position to a second contracted position where the axially extending fingers have translationally radially contracted to compress the grommet about the cable inserted in the cable connector. Different types of grommets, some with plastic inserts, can be interchangeably used with the same connector body to accommodate cables of different sizes and shapes.
