Abstract
An apparatus is disclosed for clamping cable. The apparatus is a barrier that clamps and/or adheres to the cable. The barrier has a base, and the base has a diameter greater than an aperture through which the cable passes. The base of the barrier hinders the cable from pulling through the aperture, yet the barrier allows the cable to push through the aperture.
