A combined grounding and strain relief clamp for shielded, jacketed flat cables includes an elongated housing having a truncated wedge-shaped cavity with large and narrow apertures for passing a flat electrical cable therethrough. The clamp further includes a pair of metallic wedge plates for insertion into the large aperture of the cavity with a cable passing therebetween. The wedge members are positioned above and below the cable, between the shield and jacket, the housing is fitted over the wedge plates, and the clamp is mounted on a grounding, extending the cable shield through the grounding panel. Forces between the wedge plates and the sloped cavity walls simultaneously ground the cable shield the mounting panel, while providing high degree of clamping force to jacket.
