]]> This clamping strain relief holds ethernet cables in position behind a rack, NVR, hub or modem. It can sometimes be important to put the cables back to the same positions when reconnecting and this clamping strain relief helps to achieve that. It holds each cable in position while at the same time providing strain relief through the collective stress of all the cable connections. Whether you are unplugging one connection or all connections from your hub or NVR this device is helpful in managing and restraining the cables. Should work with most cables and will provide some gentle clamping on most CaT5e and CAT6 cables.

The 10x (10 slot) model allows 10 cables to be held which I use as 8 camera connections and 1 LAN connection. I am including configurations of 10x, 8x, 6x and 4x.

2019-11-05 Release much improved v2.0

  • Strengthened the pivot axle by increasing the diameter. I found it was relatively easy to break if you tried.
  • Added cable retention to the slots making it much easier to load the clamp. Previously cables would be difficult to hold in place while loading it.
  • Reduced the total amount of material needed to make by increasing the diameter of the holes through the main body.

Post-Printing

Assembly

The latches are designed to snap on at a 90-degree angle to the main body. Then once rotated down they are locked in. The other end snaps locked and can be unsnapped with a mild upward force on the tab.

Licensing, Comments and Feedback

I am happy to share my designs (STL files) with our community and welcome you to print them for yourself and even gift them to others. However, I do not permit the use of my designs for commercial purposes (i.e. you can not sell my design(s) or products printed from my design(s)). Thank you for respecting this. If you wish to sell them please contact me and we can work something out.

If you print any of my designs I would appreciate any feedback. I am especially interested in how different designs print with different printers and materials. And, it is always nice to hear back from people who use my designs.

I am working towards commercializing some of my products and experimenting with a few different avenues. I am currently exploring the use of an ETSY shop, my branded site Buku Design and also on Amazon (Canada and USA, ). If you have time please visit my products there to help increase traffic and search success. Thank you.
