A cable connector assembly for electrical and/or optical cables and for connection to a complementary connector assembly. A housing for receiving the contact elements can be connected to a clamping sleeve via a threaded connection. A partially radially compressible clamping member surrounds and grips the cable at the latest when the threaded connection of the clamping sleeve and the housing is tightened. A tightening sleeve, having a length less than the clamping sleeve, is pushed coaxially over at least a portion of the clamping sleeve. A unidirectional locking mechanism interposed between the clamping sleeve and the tightening sleeve prevents a relative rotation of the tightening sleeve and the clamping sleeve in the tightening direction of the threaded connection between the clamping sleeve and the housing beyond a certain extent. A user can assemble the cable connector assembly manually, but can no longer open it without a tool.
