Abstract
A bend limiting fiber management clip for mounting on a panel has generally rectangular top and bottom walls, and a pillar extending between the top and bottom walls and arcuately between diagonal corners of the walls. Convexly arcuate retaining arms extend upwardly from the bottom wall to adjacent the top wall at the other diagonal corners of the walls, and a depending boss is provided on the bottom wall which seats in a cooperating aperture of a panel. The top wall may have an aperture cooperatively dimensioned with said boss in which the boss of a second clip may be engaged, and the arcuate retaining arms have outwardly inclined projections at the upper ends thereof extending upwardly from the top wall. Four clips are mounted in a rectangular array, and cables may be wound about the outer surface of the pillars or about the inner surface.
