A cable assembly having an elongate cable and a cable fitting having an elongate body with a first end, a second end, and a tubular duct extending therethrough adapted to receive the elongate cable. First and second annular rings extend substantially circumferentially around a portion of the elongate body and define an annular groove therebetween. A circumferential support has a first section that extends from the first annular ring to the first end and a second section that extends from the second annular ring to the second end. An outer circumference of the annular groove is less than an outer circumference of the circumferential support.
