A strain-relieving apparatus for a cable, comprising a housing and a shroud. A cable is inserted into a port on a device, such as an electronic device. The shroud is permanently affixed to the cable, and attaches to and rotates within the housing to lock the shroud into the housing. The shroud may also unlock from the housing by rotating the shroud within the housing, until tabs located on the shroud are aligned with recesses in the housing, allowing for the shroud to be removed from the housing.
