Abstract

An offset clip for use with light fiber has a base including a hole for accommodating a fastener. The clip also includes an insert with a light fiber retaining member. The light fiber retaining member may take any of several forms and may be either rigid or flexible. The insert and the base are held rotatably together by a locking mechanism. The insert and the base are arranged such that when the insert is inserted into the base, the insert hides the fastener from view.
