Cable strain relief and sealing apparatus comprising a sleeve formed of flexible and resilient material having a substantially cylindrical inner surface and a tapered outer surface. The sleeve may be tapered inwardly from the mid-portion thereof to both end portions thereof or, alternatively, may be provided with a taper in one direction only. A plurality of oppositely extending axial slots are formed in the sleeve so that, upon radial inward compression of the sleeve by a housing member or the like enclosing the sleeve, the internal surface of the sleeve will tightly grip a cable passing therethrough. A sealing bushing formed of flexible and resilient material may be provided at each tapered end of the sleeve, and may have a taper that is substantially the same as that of the sleeve. Each bushing comprises an annular flange which extends within the adjacent end of the sleeve so that a tight sealing engagement between the sleeve, bushing and the cable is effected upon compression of the sleeve and the bushing by the surrounding housing members.
