Abstract
A cable retainer for organizing, arranging, and routing electrical and optical cable includes a shaft and first and second retention mechanisms. The first retention mechanism, which includes a stop attached at the top of the shaft and a flexible top tap attached to the back of the shaft, is attached to the shaft for restraining the cables within a top retention region. The second retention mechanism, which includes a lip structure attached to the front of the shaft and a flexible side tab extending along each side to the front of the shaft, is attached to the shaft for restraining the cables within side retention regions. This cable retainer can be employed in a cable organizer.
