Cable restraints for splice enclosures and splice enclosures including cable restraints

A cable restraint for location within a splice enclosure to restrain a cable extending into the splice enclosure, the cable restraint comprising:

• a tray extending from an open end to a cable storage end, the tray comprising:
• a bottom side having an upward facing surface;
• a first post attached to and extending away from the upward facing surface, the first post defining a first slot;
• and
• a tab feature, wherein:
• the open end enables a cable to pass onto the upward facing surface, and
• the cable storage end provides storage space;
• and
• a restraint bridge removably attached to the tray and coupled to the cable, the restraint bridge comprising:
• a central portion having a surface configured to cooperate with the tab feature to inhibit relative motion between the restraint bridge and the tray in a direction non-perpendicular to an axis of the cable;
• and
• a second post, the second post attached to and extending away from the central portion, the second post configured to apportion a space above the central portion for the cable to pass through, wherein:
• the first slot is non-parallel to the upward facing surface to cooperate with a mechanism to which the cable is coupled to inhibit relative motion between the cable and the splice enclosure.

• and
• an attachment structure attached to the tray, a portion of the attachment structure spaced a distance away from the upward facing surface of the bottom side to define an open space, wherein:
• the open space enables a portion of the restraint bridge to be located between the portion of the attachment structure spaced a distance away from the upward facing surface and the upward facing surface to inhibit relative motion between the restraint bridge and the tray in a direction non-parallel to the upward facing surface,
• the attachment structure comprises a first post attached to and extending away from the upward facing surface,
• the open space is an undercut located between the first post and the upward facing surface, and
• the first post defines a first slot that is non-parallel to the upward facing surface to cooperate with a mechanism to which the cable is coupled to inhibit relative motion between the cable and the splice enclosure.
