<p>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.</p> |
