  • System and method for attaching, routing and concealing cables on load carrying webbing
    Patent number: 11262161
    Abstract: A connector (10) for connection to MOLLE webbing having a plurality of MOLLE loops (18), includes an elongate body portion and first and second arrays of tabs (12) extending from the body portion arranged in laterally opposing relationship relative to one another, tabs (12) being configured for coupling to the MOLLE loops (18) so as to attach the connector to MOLLE webbing. The body portion may be substantially planar and the first and second arrays of tabs (12) are substantially co-planar with the body portion. The body portion has a width of 2.5 to 3.8 millimetres and the tabs have a pitch either individually or in a plurality thereof of 2.5 to 3.8 millimetres. The body portion may include an internal channel for receipt of a component, such as a cable, wire or tube. The connector can be fitted to a MOLLE webbing by disposing the tabs below one or more loops of the MOLLE webbing, disposing a component between the connector and the substrate, whereby the component is held by and covered by the connector.
