Cable grip for overmolded or potted plugs

A method for producing a cable grip of a cable which is to be attached to a plug and has a round cross section and has a cable sheath with an external circumference comprising the steps of:

• a) provide a metal ring element which is produced from a ring-shaped wall with a substantially circular cross section, wherein the ring element comprises an internal circumference which is greater than the external circumference of the cable sheath;
• b) move the ring element onto the cable sheath of the cable at a defined position;
• and
• c) deform the ring element in such a manner that a reduced internal circumference, which is generated as a result of the deformation, is smaller than or equal to the external circumference of the cable sheath such that it is fixed on the cable sheath and, in addition, the wall of the ring element has been reshaped in at least one region to reduce the internal circumference in such a manner that at least one ring element portion, which has been formed by the wall and reshaped, protrudes radially outward in relation to the cable sheath.
