US 6,732,983 B1 · Cable clip

Abstract

A cable clip having a locking jaw structure capable of securing a coaxial cable for subsequent mounting to a surface is disclosed. The cable clip is formed with upper and lower jaw portions defining a cable-retaining opening adapted for receiving at least one cable therein. The jaw portions are connected so as to be generally configurable between an open configuration wherein at least one cable may be insertably received, and a closed configuration wherein the cable is received and secured within the clip body. An automatically engaging locking mechanism and interlocking teeth on the upper and lower jaw portions provide for the alignment of the jaws and securing of the cable prior to mounting. The upper and lower jaw portions each define a fastener-receiving aperture for securing the clip (and cable) to a mounting surface.
