The at least one stud includes a thread. The at least one peg includes a body portion defining an opening for receiving the at least one stud and a through hole extending therethrough for receiving a cable fastener to secure one or more cables in the enclosure. The body portion includes a thread adjacent the opening corresponding to the thread of the at least one stud for removably coupling the at least one peg to the panel via the at least one stud. Other example enclosures are also disclosed.

8. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the through hole is a substantially linear through hole.

9. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the at least one stud includes at least two studs each extending from the panel and wherein the at least one peg includes at least two pegs removably coupled to the panel via the at least two studs.

10. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the at least one stud includes a self-clinching stud.

11. The enclosure of claim 1 wherein the through hole is a first through hole, wherein the body portion defines a second through hole different than the first through hole extending therethrough.
