ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an apparatus for holding a first cable and a second cable in communication on an object. The apparatus includes a first member for holding a first end of the first cable and a second member for holding a second end of the second cable. The second member is disposed in a predetermined adjacent relationship with the first member such that the first and second ends are abutted up against each other and can communicate a signal therebetween. The apparatus also has means for affixing each of the first and second members separately to the object in the predetermined adjacent relationship. Preferably, the cables are fiber optic cables and the signal is light. In an alternative, the first and second members are fixedly attached to a spring base. The spring base is for maintaining the members in the predetermined adjacent relationship such that the first and second ends are abutted and can communicate a signal therebetween when the object is on the apparatus.
