CABLE CONTAINER HAVING IMPROVED FASTENING MEANS

摘要

A container (1) such as a patching tray for accommodating incoming cables (11), outgoing cables (12) and connectors (13) connecting the incoming and outgoing cables is provided with fastening means (2) for fastening the connectors (13) to the bottom of the container. According to the invention, the fastening means (2) are constituted by at least a first fastening pad (3) fixed to the container (1) and second fastening pads (4) fixed to the individual connectors (13), the fastening pads (3, 4) being designed so as to provide a releasable bond. Preferably, the pads together constitute a "touch-to close" fastener for example of the type known under the Trade Mark "VELCRO". Thus the fastening hooks for the connectors can be dispensed with, simplifying the design of the container.
