A clamping part for clamping a cable in a cable connector assembly, the clamping part comprising:
- at least one radially compressible section that encloses the cable and clamps the cable in the compressed state;
- a front edge region for resting against at least one of a housing of the cable connector assembly or a connector extension inserted therein;
- a rear section formed by a number of clamping tongues distributed around a circumference of the clamping part, and the clamping tongues include at least two different kinds of the clamping tongues;
- wherein each of the clamping tongues of a first group of the clamping tongues is wider, at least at an end facing away from the clamping part, than the clamping tongues of a second group of the clamping tongues;
- and
- wherein the clamping tongues of the first group widen continuously as a distance from the front edge region of the clamping part increases.
