A clamp for retaining a probe cable out of a technician's way while he/she probes an electronic system includes a cable-retention element and a clamp-attachment element. The cable-retention element releasably holds a probe cable to the clamp, and the clamp-attachment element anchors the cable-retention element at a desired location. Consequently, the clamp can isolate the probe cable away from the technician's activities and keep excess probe cable from looping. This reduces the likelihood of damage caused by the technician unintentionally pulling the probe cable while probing an electrical circuit and increases the fidelity of the signal the oscilloscope receives. Furthermore the clamp-attachment element may releasably anchor the cable-retention element at a desired location to allow the clamp to be effectively reused many times.
