A bracket for mounting a cable to a surface is presented. The bracket restricts lateral and longitudinal movement of a cable while enabling rotational movement. The bracket may be mounted to a first surface so that the cable may be inserted into a second surface. The bracket generally includes a mounting portion, first and second flanges, and an arm. To reduce longitudinal movement of the cable, the cable is inserted through the first flange and fixedly coupled to a ferrule, which is coupled between the second flange and the notch of the arm. To restrict lateral movement of the cable, a first flange includes a tab that when in a raised position, enables the cable to be inserted through the first flange. After which, the tab is lowered to reduce the size of the aperture. The bracket may also include a cap that is fixedly removable from the cable.

Cable mounting bracket

A termination system for a cable integrated to control a damper, wherein an end portion of the cable is provided about an opening formed in a ceiling or wall, the system includes: a suspension mount having a base and an opened region, the base has an aperture to receive the cable a retaining bar is secured to the suspension mount such that the ceiling or wall is positioned between the suspension mount and the retaining bar and such that the opened region of the suspension mount is positioned over the opening formed in the ceiling or wall, the retaining bar further including a central opening; and a cap having an inside portion and a peg extending from the inside portion, the cap further having an outer periphery sized larger than the retaining bar and larger than the opening formed in the ceiling or wall, and the central opening of the retaining bar is sized to engage the peg, wherein engagement of the peg with the central opening enables the cap to obscure from visibility the retaining bar, the opening in the ceiling or wall, and the cable, and wherein the cap is able to be removed from the retaining bar to provide access to the cable for controlling said damper.
