Abstract
A cable bundling strap anchor made by forming a number of tongues along an elongate band or bracket of flat, resilient metal or plastic by removing material in a form of a cutout such that the sides and one end of the cutout form a tongue attaching member. An open bundling strap is placed around the tongue from the tongue free end. Thereafter, a cable bundle is placed over the anchor and the strap is closed about the bundle. The stiffness of the cable bundle and the inability to move the bundle away from the plane of the band prevents removal of the strap from the anchor.
