Abstract: A cable holding device for holding a communication cable beside an electrical power outlet box. The cable holding device comprises a frame having a main portion and an integral base portion, extending at a right angle to the main portion of the frame, for attachment to the side wall of a power outlet box with a front face of the main portion of the frame preferably substantially coplanar with a front face of the outlet box defined by the front edges of the walls of the outlet box. The frame has at least one tab to which a communication cable may be secured. A variety of tabs are disclosed, some of which have a hole connected with an access slot for receiving the cable. The tab may be manually bent to enlarge the slot to allow passage of the cable to the opening after which the slot may be at least partially closed to retain the cable in the opening.
