Abstract
A new and improved strain relief for a cord applying a closely controllable force squeezing together a split grommet surrounding the cord. More particularly, a cable tie may be wrapped around the split cylindrical grommet and pulled by a conventional cable tie gun which is set for establishing a predetermined cable tie tension. The tie pulls the split grommet together with precisely the force that is produced by that tension. Thus, any cord passing through the grommet receives a maximum stress which is set by that tension.
