Devices and methods for holding cables
The present disclosure describes devices and assemblies for holding cables. A device adapted for holding one or more discrete cables may include a flexible main body formed of a polymeric material having a length, a width, a thickness, and a longitudinal axis, the main body including a wrapping portion and a mounting portion, wherein the wrapping portion is configured to be wrapped such that the main body circumscribes the one or more discrete cables; a securing feature attached to or integral with the mounting portion of the main body and configured to be secured to a mounting structure; and a plurality of apertures along the longitudinal axis of the wrapping portion of the main body, wherein the securing feature is configured to be received through one of the plurality of apertures when the main body is wrapped around the one or more discrete cables. Methods of holding cables are also provided.
1. A device adapted for holding one or more discrete cables, comprising:
a flexible main body formed of a polymeric material having a length, a width, a thickness, and a longitudinal axis, the main body including a wrapping portion, a mounting portion, and a frangible portion, wherein the wrapping portion is configured to be wrapped such that the main body circumscribes the one or more discrete cables;
a securing feature attached to or integral with the mounting portion of the main body and configured to be secured to a mounting structure; and
a plurality of apertures along the longitudinal axis of the wrapping portion of the main body,
wherein the securing feature comprises a threaded post and a capture member, the threaded post configured to be received through one of the plurality of apertures when the main body is wrapped around the one or more discrete cables, the capture member attached to the main body by the frangible portion and configured to be detached from the main body and secured onto the threaded post.
2. The device of claim 1 , wherein the threaded post is a threaded bolt and the capture member is a breakaway nut.
3. The device of claim 1 , wherein the threaded post has annular threads and the capture member has an interior ridge configured to interlock with the annular threads of the threaded post to secure the capture member onto the threaded post.
