Abstract
A profile strip of insulating material is proposed for holding many electrical cables (27)-(30) in switching and control boards and panels, which consists of a mounting section (13) for fastening on a mounting track and a comb-like cable holding section (15) formed thereon. This cable holding section (15) consists of many parallel teeth (14), between which insertion slits (26) for insertion or installation of electrical cables are formed. The insertion slits (26) are limited at the sides by elastic tabs (21) formed on the teeth (14). Between every two teeth (14) a shorter intermediate tooth (20) is positioned such that it divides a portion of the insertion slit (26) into two narrower partial slits. This permits the elastic tabs (21) to hold, in variable fashion, not only cables of smaller diameter (29) in the portion with the intermediate tooth, but also cables of larger diameter (27), (28) in the remaining portion.
