An alignment device adapted to position an elongated member such as a cable or the like within the interior of an associated enclosure. The device includes a hollow collar adapted to be placed in a close surrounding relationship with an axial section of the elongated member. The collar includes a longitudinal split in the side wall thereof between opposed spaced apart collar peripheral ends. These ends may be moved apart from each other for installing the device on the elongated member and then moved back toward each other to place the device in a close surrounding operative position thereon. An adjustable locking means facilitates locking the collar at the peripheral ends in the operative position and simultaneously prevents axial displacement of the peripheral ends relative to each other. A plurality of supporting legs extend outwardly of the collar at spaced intervals therearound and include support feet. These support feet are configured and positioned to cooperate with the interior walls of an associated enclosure when the device is inserted thereinto for maintaining the elongated member in some desired spaced relationship therein. Inwardly extending gripping means may be included on the collar interior for engaging the elongated member in the collar operative position for reducing the potential for relative movement therebetween. The alignment device preferably comprises a one piece molded plastic construction. Typically, a plurality of the devices are affixed to the elongated member at spaced intervals therealong for positioning it within an elongated enclosure over the coextensive lengths thereof.
