A shielded cable connector (2) comprises a terminal section (4) and a cable section (6). The cable section (6) comprises support shells (26) mountable over shielding (18) of the cable, and clamping half-shells (28) that have ends (38) engageable in grooves (36) of the support members. The clamping half-shells (28) are pivotable together to clamp a shielding braid (52) that is reversely folded over a cylindrical portion (33) of the support members (26). A retention ring (30) is passed over the clamping half-shells (28) to securely lock them to the terminal section (4). Assembly of the shield clamping portions is thus enabled after the terminals are mounted in the connector for a more cost-effective assembly procedure.
