Cable connection

aA cable connection for connecting a cable on a housing or a wall is provided. The cable connection includes a threaded bushing in which the connection contacts are arranged, and a conductor compartment, which in a use position, holds conductors or wires of the cable to be to be connected, with the conductors coming to rest against the contacts after insertion of the conductor compartment into the threaded bushing. The connection also includes a clamping insert that surrounds the cable and lies axially adjacent to the conductor compartment, fixing the cable in an axial direction in the threaded bushing, and a cap nut that is screwed onto the threaded bushing for simultaneous radial deformation of the clamping insert and fixing of the cable in a final position of use. The conductor compartment and the cap nut are separate and can be attached to the threaded bushing one after the other and a snap-in connection for axial fixing of the conductor compartment is provided on the threaded bushing for axially securing the conductor compartment in the contact position.
