A grommet for use in a cable fitting includes a body having a bore substantially therethrough and a resilient membrane located within the bore. The resilient membrane has a thinner membrane portion extending radially towards the bore to provide a controlled tear during cable insertion. The body has an exit opening which comprises resilient gripping teeth projecting axially from the body with an axially extending resilient foldable membrane located between at least two adjacent resilient teeth and foldable therebetween when they are radially compressed. Once force is applied by the axial movement of the fitting assembly onto a tapered surface of the grommet, the flexible gripping members radially collapse towards an inserted cable. The grommet may be assembled in a strain relief connector having a nut, a connector body and optionally an insert.
