A device adapted for holding one or more discrete cables includes: a flexible main body formed of a polymeric material having a length, a width, a thickness, and a longitudinal axis, the main body including a wrapping portion and a mounting portion, wherein the wrapping portion is configured to be wrapped such that the main body circumscribes the one or more discrete cables, and wherein a plurality of undulations are present between the mounting portion and the wrapping portion; a securing feature attached to or integral with the mounting portion of the main body and configured to be secured to a mounting structure; and a plurality of apertures along the longitudinal axis of the wrapping portion of the main body. The securing feature is configured to be received through one of the plurality of apertures when the main body is wrapped around the one or more discrete cables. At least one of the undulations varies in height, width and/or thickness from at least one of the other undulations.

A channel clip for fixing conductors to the outside of guide channels of power conduction chains. The aim of the invention is to be able to fix the conductors to the outer sides of guide channels with little effort by means of such a channel clip. This aim is achieved in that the channel clip substantially comprises a U-shaped bracket of resilient plastic material having a first U limb and a second U limb, in that the two U limbs form a receiving region for the conductors to be held, in that a transverse web is provided on the upper end of the first U limb and extends in the direction toward the upper end of the second U limb, in that, to close the receiving region at the free end of the transverse web and at the adjacent upper end of the second U limb, a snap-in connection that can be latched in is provided, and in that the first limb, provided with the transverse web, has a device for mounting the channel clip on a guide channel.

An improved zip tie includes a strap with a plurality of spaced holes formed therein. A head is supported at one end of the strap. The head has an entry opening for insertably accomodating the other end of the strap. A guide channel is formed within the head and extends between the entry opening and an opposite exit opening. A tongue is arranged within the guide channel and pivotally supported on a base at the entry opening. The tongue is pivotable between a locked position and an open position. A securing groove receives the tongue in the locked position. The securing groove is formed in the guide channel opposite the base proximal to the exit opening.

Disclosed is an improved mounting and securing device. The device provides for attachment at least one elongate object to a surface and includes a diaphragm spring and an oval fir tree mount. The device is secured to and prevents rotation in an oval or slot shaped hole in a mounting surface. The oval fir tree mount has a tapered tip and a substantially oval shape. Fir tree branches are attached to an oval shaped trunk at various elevations or staggered heights. The diaphragm spring includes a flexible umbrella extending toward the fir tree branches. The diaphragm spring provides tension and resistance when the fir tree mount is inserted into a mount hole formed in a supporting surface such as a panel. The flexible spring combined with the staggered height branches allow the device to be securely retained in different mounting hole thicknesses. The substantially oval configuration prevents rotation.

An apparatus for cable management comprising fastening heads each of which has a head body having an outer surface and one or more inner surfaces. Each inner surface defines a plurality of walls which cooperatively form an aperture thereamong. A pawl extends from a first wall of the aperture toward a second wall of the aperture. The pawl comprises a face having pawl teeth. A flexible alignment guide is disposed on the head body which is configured to apply a biasing force to urge a strap into an alignment with the face of the pawl for an engagement between the pawl teeth and the strap teeth. The pawl teeth comprise an engagement region having a leading edge oriented inwardly toward the second wall and a flank region extending downwardly from the leading edge. The engagement region being configured for the engagement between the pawl teeth and the strap teeth.
