A non-metallic sleeve (2) is provided inside the backshell (1), which sleeve comprises webs (3) which extend substantially axially and are resilient radially to deflect inwards. A metallic clamping ring (4) is also provided, one end (4B) of which can be pushed over the webs (3) in the axial direction such that the screening braid (21) is clamped between the webs (3) and the clamping ring (4). A contact face of the clamping ring (4) bears against a pressure face (1B) of the backshell (1).
