ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for securing a folded section of ribbon cable. Two elongate members are connected to each other at a first end so as to be movable between an open position and a closed position. The ribbon cable is positioned adjacent the inner surfaces of the first and second members when the members are in the open position. The first and second members are then moved into a closed position wherein a securing device secures the first and second members against the tension of the folded ribbon cable. The securing or latching mechanism is preferably comprised of two serrated posts formed on one member that mates with two opening formed in the other member. A wedge in each of the two openings engages with the serrations to secure the two members together against the tension of the folded ribbon cable, however, the tip of the wedge elastically deforms when the posts are removed from the openings in response to an installer separating the two members.
