  • Patent number: 10337651
    Abstract: A cable clip disposed at an electronic device and adapted to clamp a cable is provided. The cable clip comprises a first clamping unit and a second clamping unit. The first clamping unit has a first clamping portion and two spaced-apart anti-pulling portions. The second clamping unit has a second clamping portion corresponding in position to the first clamping portion and two fixing portions corresponding in position to the two anti-pulling portions, to which the two anti-pulling portions are connected respectively. The cable is clamped between the first and second clamping portions when the first and second clamping units fit together in operation, and thus part of the electronic device is confined between the two anti-pulling portions, allowing the first clamping unit to bear a pulling force by one of the two anti-pulling portions. The cable clip prevents detachment of the cable's connector otherwise electrically connected to the electronic device.
