ABSTRACT:
An apparatus, for attachment to an equipment frame, organizes the cables associated with each interface circuit card of the equipment. The apparatus includes a sheet metal panel having an upper slotted flange and a lower cable channel each extending along its length, giving the panel a J-shaped cross-section, and a plurality of resilient wire cable retaining members. For each group of cables, a resilient wire member is provided having a U-shaped base, substantially parallel arms and an openable gap formed by fingers projecting from the arms. The U-shaped base of the wire member is inserted into the slot corresponding to the circuit card for which the cables are to be grouped. The wire member is retained in the slot by a plurality of resilient tabs fromed on the panel. The form of the fingers is selected to facilitate insertion and extraction of the cables between cable retaining arms and to ensure retention of the cables once inserted.
