ABSTRACT:
A new and improved bracket or cradle for use in conjunction with terminal blocks for effecting connections in the telephonic, data transmisison and related fields is presented. In accordance with the present invention, the cradle comprises a generally rectangular bracket having a rear face and two opposed side faces transverse to the rear face. Each of the three faces include openings therein for receiving conventional male or female connector elements. In accordance with an important feature of the present invention, the longitudinal upper surfaces of the opposed faces each include a plurality of wire guide openings for positioning and retaining wires; and providing improved wire management to the bracket. Each wire guide opening is defined by a pair of spaced, alternating substantially T-shaped and longitudinal extensions which are positioned along the longitudinal upper surfaces to define an array of teeth. Another important feature of the cradle of the present invention is the provision of cable tie down located on the rear surface of the bracket. This cable tie down feature permits a cable which is run through the bracket to be tightly secured subsequent to installation. Still another important feature of the present invention is an improved snap-on attachment for effecting more reliable and secure attachment to a terminal block. This snap-on attachment is positioned along the upper surfaces of the opposed side faces.
