Abstract
A cable support bracket includes a backplate with a number of structures extending transversely therefrom and defining a plurality of cable restraints and slots. The cable restraints have a series of projections formed on the transversely extending structures. Each cable restraint has a series of projections aligned so as to create matching barbs that secure electrical cables within the restraints. At least one transversely-extending structure acts as a spacer to ensure that electrical safety requirements regarding the distance between cables and internal walls are met when the bracket is installed.
Claims20
A cable support bracket, comprising:
- a backplate having a front surface and an opposed rear surface;
- the backplate further having a first end and a second end opposed to the first end;
- at least one cable restraint partially defined by a portion of the backplate and a post, wherein the post extends transversely from the backplate a first predetermined distance from the rear surface;
- and
- at least one spacer extending transversely from the front surface a second predetermined distance from the rear surface;
- wherein the second predetermined distance is greater than the first predetermined distance by a third predetermined distance.
A cable support bracket, comprising:
- a backplate including a front surface, an opposed rear surface, a first end, and a second end opposed to the first end;
- a first spacer connected to the backplate at the first end and extending transversely from the front surface;
- a second spacer connected to the backplate at the second end and extending transversely from the front surface;
- a plurality of cable restraints spaced apart between the first spacer and the second spacer;
- and
- a plurality of partitions connected to the backplate and located between the first spacer and the second spacer, wherein each of the plurality of partitions truncates a series of the plurality of cable restraints from another series of the plurality of cable restraints;
- wherein each of the partitions are spaced apart from another partition by an open slot.
