Abstract
A cable strain relief device comprises a cable manifold having a pair of generally planar surfaces upon opposite sides thereof formed with a plurality of cable receiving channels extending generally lengthwise along the surfaces. The channels are spaced from one another transversely of the length of the manifold and are formed so as to undulate transversely in a serpentine manner to provide strain relief for cables such as fiber optic cables placed in the channels. The channels are sufficiently deep to permit the placement of two cables in each channel.
