A clip absorbs the tension in the cable of a t.v. receiver to comply with the standard specifications. It prevents any twisting along the wall of the housing when the cable is subjected to an oblique tensile loading. It consists of a section attached to the housing with a second section clamped to the first section. The two sections are hinge coupled at one end. The second section is made with projecting teeth which mesh onto the first section. The first section(1) is provided with a pin(4) with a star-shaped cross-section. The webbing(16) is made with barned projections(5)at the ends in the longitudinal direction of the pin. The projections prevent the pin from being pulled out of a hole(8) in the wall of the housing.
