US Patent 7388165 Cable restraint and radius control apparatus

A cable management apparatus includes a cable restraint adapted to provide strain relief to a cable and a radial guide adapted to provide a desired bend radius to a cable. The apparatus may have a compressible body provided with a receiving channel adapted to receive a cable in a receiving condition and to restrict movement of the cable in a restrictive condition. The radial guide may be in the form of a shoulder provided at a closed end of the channel and having a surface of predetermined bend radius. The receiving channel may be converted between a receiving condition and a restrictive condition by compression of the body when the apparatus is inserted into an opening of a support structure.
