A cable clamp for use with various ribbon connectors is readily mounted on a connector end for providing a strain relief avoiding inadvertent disengagement of wires terminated in contacts of the connector. A protective hood construction is designed to cover the connector contacts and support the cable clamp. After the clamp is fixed in place and the wire terminations visually inspected, the hood is readily snapped in place. The provided clamp is particularly well-suited for automated assembly operations, requiring no discrete securing elements but merely a squeezing or clamping engagement with a cable to impart desired strain relief. The hood similarly requires no separate securing means for interlocking assembly with the connector and clamp.
