A cable retainer ( 10 ) for a cable ( 12 ) having a longitudinal axis ( 11 ) and a given diameter has a first elongated body half ( 14 ) arrayed along the longitudinal axis ( 11 ) and having a first surface ( 18 ) and a second, oppositely disposed surface ( 20 ), the second oppositely disposed surface ( 20 ) having a first cable receiving section ( 22 ) therein with a depth at least one half of the given diameter. A second elongated body half ( 30 ) is arrayed along the longitudinal axis ( 11 ) and has a first area ( 34 ) and a second, oppositely disposed area ( 36 ) with a second cable receiving section ( 38 ) therein. A guide system ( 37 ) is provided for orienting the first elongated body half and the second elongated body half A fastener ( 40 ) is formed on the second elongated body half ( 30 ) and a receptor ( 42 ) for the fastener ( 40 ) is formed on the first elongated body half ( 14 ). A plurality of cable-engaging projections ( 44 ) is formed in each of the first cable receiving section ( 22 ) and the second cable receiving section ( 38 ), the cable engaging projections ( 44 ) in the first cable-receiving section ( 22 ) being longitudinally displaced from the projections ( 44 ) in the second cable receiving section ( 38 ), whereby an inserted cable ( 12 ) is rendered axially and rotationally stable.
