Patent number: 8882051Abstract: The present invention relates to a cable holder for guiding a plurality of computer-network cables, including a loop with an inner circumference at least partially adapted to provide a support for the cables The loop is formed of a first leg and a second leg extending essentially parallel to each other and being interconnected at a proximal end segment of each of the first and the second leg via a yoke, and a closure section, arranged at a distal end segment of each of the first and the second leg. The closure section includes at least one flap which is arranged at the distal end segment of the first or the second leg and extends towards the opposing distal end segment of the second or the first leg, respectively. Further, the invention relates to a kit and a cable management system comprising the cable holder.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2011Date of Patent: November 11, 2014Assignee: Tyco Electronics Raychem BVBAInventors: Heidi Bleus, Ruth VanDoren, Danny Thijs
