Abstract

A cable holder, in particular for fiber optics cables, includes a base piece that contains a cable receiving duct that is open on top and axially, into which a cable can be loaded, and a cover piece that provides a retaining structure and that is hinged on the base piece to swivel from an open position into a closed position around a swivel axis. In the open position of the cover piece, the cover piece sticks out from the base piece and the cable is loadable into the cable receiving duct. In the closed position of the cover piece, the cover piece extends along the base piece and the retaining structure localizes the loaded cable on the cable receiving duct. The swivel axis extends in the area of one axial end of the cable receiving duct perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable receiving duct and/or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable.
