Abstract
A cable retainer assembly is adapted for segregating, bundling, and routing fiber optic cable inside a cable management cabinet. The retainer assembly includes a mounting track for being located inside the cabinet, and having first and second opposing end edges, and first and second opposing side edges. An arcuate retainer clip is carried on the mounting track between its opposing end edges and side edges. The retainer clip defines a bend-radius control surface adapted for controlling the degree of bend experienced by fiber optic cable held by the retainer clip. The retainer clip has a base, and at least one outwardly-extending cable retainer arm formed with the base. The cable retainer arm is spaced-apart from the bend-radius control surface to retain a bundled plurality of fiber optic cable inside the cabinet.
