A retention clip for mechanical strain relief of a cable tube surrounding a cable harness of a connector defines a cable channel for passing therethrough the cable harness along an insertion direction. The retention clip includes a catch section at least partially projecting into the cable channel and adapted to engage the cable tube inserted into the cable channel, an anchoring section for attachment of the retention clip to the connector, and a transition section located between the anchoring section and the catch section, wherein the transition section continuously surrounds the cable channel and is circumferentially monolithic with respect to the insertion direction. Due to the circumferentially monolithic nature, the retention clip more compact and easier to manufacture and install than existing strain relief structures with two halves. Further, a cable assembly, a connector and a connection assembly with such a retention clip are provided.
