ABSTRACT:
In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a rigid U-shaped bracket having its end portions projecting along a pivot axis which is substantially parallel to the bottom of the U-shape. Brackets are provided for pivotally mounting the U-shaped bracket to a cabinet in a position proximate the cables and the electronic equipment served by the cables, such that the cables are positionable between the U-shaped bracket and a portion of the cabinet with substantially a 90.degree. bend. A pull on any, or all, of the cables positioned under the U-shaped bracket will cause the bracket to rotate around the pivot axis, toward the cabinet, creating a clamping action on the cable. The clamping action prevents the transmission of the pull to connectors connecting the cables to the equipment within the cabinet. In the absence of a pull on a cable, all of the cables are restrained in a secure position by the U-shaped bracket to prevent interference with other portions of the electronic cabinet such as a door, the continued opening and closing of which could chafe the cables, damaging the cables and/or the door.
