Claim 9:
10. A cable restraint for location within a splice enclosure to restrain a cable extending into the splice enclosure, the cable restraint comprising:
a tray extending from an open end to a cable storage end, the tray comprising:
a bottom side having an upward facing surface;
a first post attached to and extending away from the upward facing surface, the first post defining a first slot; and
a tab feature, wherein:
the open end enables a cable to pass onto the upward facing surface, and
the cable storage end provides storage space; and

a restraint bridge removably attached to the tray and coupled to the cable, the restraint bridge comprising:
a central portion having a surface configured to cooperate with the tab feature to inhibit relative motion between the restraint bridge and the tray in a direction non-perpendicular to an axis of the cable; and
a second post, the second post attached to and extending away from the central portion, the second post configured to apportion a space above the central portion for the cable to pass through, wherein:

the first slot is non-parallel to the upward facing surface to cooperate with a mechanism to which the cable is coupled to inhibit relative motion between the cable and the splice enclosure.
