Does anyone know where I could buy simple strain relief clamps for wire for speaker cables? they only need to clamp around approx. 1/4" diameter cables. They would be inside a chassis and just rest against the back panel over a hole where the cable would go out for connections to other devices.They don't need to be mounted to anything. I've attached a sketch of what would work, but I don't have a problem with different designs.
Thanks,

So what would be wrong with a plain old cable clamp?
This one is larger than you need, but the same product comes in all sizes from tiny to huge.

Avoid metal clamps. Maybe you could just use a large nylon wire tie.
The very cheap builder would tie the +/- wires in a single knot inside the chassis
before exiting. This used to be done with AC line cords, before line cord
restraints were available, even in Hafler and Dyna kits.
A classier solution would be something like this. http://www.cabletiesandmore.com/pg-cable-glands.php

Thanks alot. I Like it. I may just put a 3/4" plastic washer over the wire, between the 5/8" diameter hole in the chassis and the plastic wire clamp.
I use mains cable glands.
To be extra sure I always put one knot on the mains cable inside the enclosure.
