Cable Mounting Assembly

A method of securing a cable to an edge utilizing a mounting assembly having a first clamping jaw that includes an integral elongate locking element and first guides laterally disposed on opposing sides of the locking element, a second clamping jaw that includes a locking channel configured to receive the elongate locking element and second guides for cooperating with the first guides, a mounting surface configured to receive and support a cable, and at least one mounting aperture configured to receive a fastening strap, the at least one mounting aperture arranged relative to the mounting surface such that the fastening strap may be looped through the at least one mounting aperture and over the mounting surface to secure a cable to the mounting surface, the method comprising:

• arranging the first and second clamping jaws such that the edge is received therebetween;
• inserting the elongate locking element into the locking channel;
• moving the first and second clamping jaws together towards the edge in a clamping direction;
• engaging the first guides with the second guides;
• moving the clamping jaws to a clamping configuration in engagement with the edge;
• applying a tensioning tool to the elongate locking member to pull an elongate member through the locking channel and pull the jaws together against the edge and to increase a clamping pressure against the edge;
• arranging a cable on the mounting surface;
• looping a fastening strap through the at least one mounting aperture and over the cable;
• and
• tightening the fastening strap to secure the cable to the mounting surface.
