A strain relief includes a main body having a bore therein for passage of a cable, wire, conduit, hose, or similar member therethrough. The main body includes a first section having male threads, and a second section including a plurality of cantilevered deflectable prongs extending therefrom. A plurality of slots are located between the prongs, and the prongs decrease in width extending toward distal ends of the prongs. A flexible elastomeric grommet is located within the bore and extends substantially along an entire length of the main body. The grommet includes a cylindrical sidewall and a plurality of spaced-apart annular ribs extending radially inwardly from the sidewall. A plurality of annular grooves are located between the annular ribs. The annular ribs have inside diameters which progressively increase along a length of the grommet in order to accommodate cables of various diameters therethrough. A silicone gel may be located in the annular grooves to improve the seal between the grommet and the cable. A cap is provided which includes female threads which are engagable with the male threads of the main body for securing the cap to the main body. The cap includes a conically or arcuately tapered wall engagable with distal ends of the prongs for compressing the prongs inwardly when the cap is threaded onto the main body, thereby compressing the grommet inwardly around the cable.
