Abstract

An optical fiber cable holder (1) includes a clasping portion (11) and a fixing portion (12). The clasping portion includes a top cover (1), and two side walls (112) depending from opposite sides of the top cover. A pair of bent arms (114) respectively extends from other opposite sides of the top cover, to prevent excessive bending of any cable (3) secured in the holder. A pair of spring arms (113) slants inwardly from the side walls, to retain the cables in the clasping portion. The fixing portion includes a pair of locking legs (121) and four stop latches (122). The locking legs are engagingly received through a pair of holes (21) defined in a base plate (2). The stop latches are supported on the base plate. The holder is thereby fixed on the base plate.
