Abstract
A method of connecting a cable with a cable retainer may include forming a hole into a flat cable, forming a first slit into the flat cable, and/or forming a second slit into the flat cable. The first slit, the second slit, and/or the hole may define an opening. A cable retainer may include a base, a first portion connected to the base and having a first length, and/or a second portion connected to the first portion having a second length that may be greater than the first length. The method may include inserting an edge of the second portion into the opening at an oblique or right angle relative to the flat cable, and/or positioning the cable retainer such that the first portion is partially disposed in the hole and a portion of the flat cable is disposed between the base and the second portion.
