  • Alignment bracket for coaxial cables
    Patent number: 4729531
    Abstract: A unique coaxial cable alignment bracket (102) reliably positions coaxial cables (140-142) extending from a backplane connector of a housing. One embodiment of the bracket (102) includes a substantially flat plate (152) and a U-shaped spring clip (172), both comprised of steel. Two feet (174 and 175) of the U-shaped spring clip (172) insert into corresponding slots (116 and 117) in the flat plate (152) for aligning and retaining the coaxial cables (140-142) in corresponding circular slots (108-110) in protruding portions of the flat plate (152). The unique bracket may be advantageously utilized in a variety of applications where heavy cables must be reliably positioned.
