Cable port protection apparatus

摘要

A cable port protection apparatus includes a frame that is configured to be secured to a housing of an electronic device, and a cable retention mechanism attached to the frame that is configured to prevent unintentional removal of a cable from a cable port of the electronic device. The cable retention mechanism includes a pair of spaced-apart arms extending outwardly from the frame to define a cable receiving space. A gate is operably associated with the spaced-apart arms and is movable by a user between open and closed positions. When in an open position, a cable can be inserted by a user through the cable receiving space and connected to a cable port. When in a closed position, the cable is prevented by the gate from becoming disconnected from the cable port and from exerting potentially damaging forces on the cable port.
