A strain relief assembly (60, 60') reduces bending of a welding cable (26) which delivers welding wire (38), gas, and electricity from a welding machine (30) to a welding gun (24) and includes first (62) an d second (64) strain relief elements surrounding and extending along the welding cable (26) for supporting and providing strain relief to t he cable (26) and a connector (66) attaching the strain relief elements (62, 64) to the machine (30) and/or the gun (24). The first strain relief element (62) extends a first distance from the connector (66) for supporting the cable (26), reducing bending of a first portion of t he cable (26) positioned inside the first strain relief element (62). The second strain relief element (64) extends a second distance, greater tha n the first distance, from the connector (66) for supporting the cable (26) and the first strain relief element (62), thereby reducing bendin g of the first portion inside the first strain relief element (62) and a second portion of the cable (26) inside the second strain relief element (64).
