A set of cable connectors wherein each connector has the same housing (310). A cable is mounted in each connector. Each housing comprises two housing halves (320, 322). Each housing half has a clamping lip (330, 331 or 332) so as to clamp a cable portion (510) when the housing halves (320, 322) are assembled together. The clamping lips (330, 331 or 332) define a cable opening which has the same section or dimension for all the cable connectors of the set of connectors. But the cable section is not the same for all the cable connectors of the set of connectors. In order to adapt to small cable sections, a thermo-retractable sheath portion (550) is slip on the cable portions (510) of small section which is then sandwiched between the clamping lips (330, 331 or 332) and the cable external sheath when the first and second housing halves (320, 322) are assembled together.
