  • Patent number: 7588216
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for cable management via hook and loop type materials are provided. The apparatus includes a substrate and a tie wrap. In at least one embodiment, the substrate is coupled to a rigid frame that is capable of accommodating a plurality of cables. The substrate and the tie wrap each have engaging mechanisms that enable them to create a hook and loop type releasable bond when pressed into contact with each other. The tie wrap is shaped to define an elongated body and a head portion having an interior opening. The body of the tie wrap may be pulled through the interior opening of the head portion in order to provide support for cables.

  • Patent number: 6655643
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for supporting and protecting flex circuits are provided. A flex circuit cabling wallet has a first cover, a second cover, and a fold line that is coupled to the first and second covers. The first cover includes a latching mechanism. The second cover includes at least one latch tab. The latch tab is configured to create a releasable bond with the latching mechanism. When the releasable bond is engaged, the first cover, fold line area, second cover, and latch tab enclose the base of a flex circuit. In at least one embodiment, a cable fastener is also provided. The cable fastener attaches to the first cover of the flex circuit cabling wallet, thereby segregating the flex circuit from cables.
