  • Optical fiber retaining clip
    Patent number: 6850687
    Abstract: A retaining clip for retaining a strip of optical fiber. The clip includes a mounting base for mounting the clip to a mounting surface. A first spacing leg and a second spacing leg are both attached about their respective first ends to the mounting base. A first retaining leg and a second retaining leg are attached to the first and second spacing legs adjacent their respective second ends. The first and second retaining legs respectively defining a first and a second overlapping segment respectively extending generally inwardly beyond the second and first retaining leg second ends. The first and second overlapping segments are in a generally parallel and spaced relationship relative to each other so as to define an insertion slot therebetween. The insertion slot defining an insertion slot longitudinal axis extending in a generally parallel relationship relative to the spacing between the spacing leg first ends.
