Abstract
The disclosed technology relates to self-locking electrical cable retainers. The cable retainer has a panel with a plurality of bores disposed within and extending longitudinally through the panel. Each bore of the plurality of bores is configured to receive individual cables. The cable retainer also has a plurality of latches. Each latch of the plurality of latches corresponds to a bore. Each latch has a first and second post. The first post is configured to bend the latch to a disengaged position through engagement with a corresponding cable as the cable is pushed longitudinally within the bore. The second post is configured to retain the corresponding cable within the respective bore when the latch returns to an engaged position.
