An adapter assembly is fastened to a preexisting electrical connector assembly having a pair of cover members defining the cable exit. The adapter assembly includes a pair of clamping members which clamp against the cable jacket for strain relief, and the clamping members are fastened to a mounting member which itself is mounted across the cable exit between inwardly facing surface portions of the cover members and secured by the fasteners which previously secured the cover members to each other. The adapter assembly enables an assured strain relief mechanism for a larger dimensioned cable than that for which the preexisting connector was intended. The mounting member can cooperate with the strain relief surfaces previously defined on the cover members at the cable exit to provide a strain relief slightly compressing the conductors arranged in two bundles passing on either side of the mounting member.
