Abstract

A comb-like support structure for optical cords has slots of uniform width having resiliently-compressible walls which grip frictionally the cords. Intermediate portions of the cords are simply pushed into corresponding slots from one end. The cord support is conveniently mounted in one wall of a distribution frame for optical fibre transmission systems.
