Abstract: A cable restraint for a telecommunications equipment frame includes mounting brackets adapted for mounting to the frame, a cross bar, and an adjustment mechanism connecting the cross bar to the mounting brackets. In one embodiment, the cable restraint further includes arms spaced apart by the cross bar and depending therefrom. Each mounting bracket has a first end adjacent the frame, a second end spaced from the first end and the frame, and a slot formed therethrough that extends between the first end and the second end. Each arm has an externally threaded stud that engages the slot such that the position of the cross bar relative to the mounting bracket and the frame is adjustable between a retracted position at a first predetermined distance from the first ends of the mounting brackets and an extended position at a second predetermined distance from the first ends of the mounting brackets.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are disclosed for leveling a relatively massive template structure which is positionable on the ocean bottom in proximity to one or more sites of subterranean wells. Since the template is primarily utilized to mount or guide later applied drilling, completion or production equipment, it is essential that the template be positioned on its fixing piles in a precise horizontally level position. Accordingly, a plurality of sleeves are secured to the template which respectively loosely encircle the hollow fixing piles. Hydraulically operated clamp means are provided to lock the encircling sleeves at any selected vertical position to a respective fixing pile. A hydraulic elevating mechanism is lowered into the top open end of at least one such fixing pile and utilized to effect the lifting of the sleeve and adjacent portion of the template to which the sleeve is secured to a height approximating the desired level position.
