Claim 21:
22. A method, comprising:
providing a cable fixation assembly, a telecommunications cable, and a tie wrap, the cable fixation assembly including:
a cable support body extending between a first end and an opposite second end along a longitudinal axis of the cable support body, the cable support body defining a seat for seating the telecommunications cable; and
a tie wrap passage defined by passage walls, the tie wrap passage extending through the cable support body generally transversely to the longitudinal axis from a first open end of the tie wrap passage to a second open end of the tie wrap passage, the tie wrap passage being configured such that when a tie wrap is advanced through the tie wrap passage from the first open end toward the second open end the tie wrap is resisted by the passage walls less than when the tie wrap is advanced through the tie wrap passage from the second open end toward the first open end,

placing an outer jacket of the telecommunications cable on the seat;
inserting the tie wrap in the first open end and advancing the tie wrap through the tie wrap passage toward and through the second open end; and
tightening the tie wrap around the outer jacket of the telecommunications cable,
wherein the seat is at a vertical top of the cable support body, and wherein the tightening is performed such that a head portion of the tie wrap is positioned within a horizontal width of the cable support body.
