Abstract:
For a chassis having a port mounted on a side of the chassis and connected to electronics in the chassis, with a plug mated in the port and a cable connected to the plug, first and second supports are mounted on the chassis side on opposing sides of the port, where each support has a respective, predetermined length extending away from the chassis side. A strap defines a slot beginning at a first end of the strap and extending along a portion of the strap's length. The strap is placed with the cable inserted in the slot and the plug at a central portion of the strap. With the supports mounted on the chassis side on opposing sides of the port, the strap connected to the respective supports, at least the plug forces curvature in a central portion of the strap, so that the central portion of the strap clamps the plug.

Claim (Index 15):
For a chassis having a port mounted on a side of the chassis and connected to electronics in the chassis, a method for clamping a plug mated in the port, comprising:\n mounting first and second supports on the chassis side on opposing sides of the port, such that each support has a respective, predetermined length extending away from the chassis side; placing a strap having a predetermined length and having a curvature along the length, wherein the strap defines a slot beginning at a first end of the strap and extending along a portion of the strap's length, wherein placing the strap includes:\n aligning the plug and a central portion of the strap, where the strap holds a cable in the slot; and \n connecting the first strap end to the first support; \n pushing the second strap end toward the chassis, wherein movement by the second strap end toward the chassis is opposed by at least the plug, so that movement of the second strap end toward the chassis due to the pushing forces an increase in curvature of the central portion of the strap producing a spring force toward the chassis; and connecting the second strap end to the second support while holding the forced curvature increase in the strap, wherein the predetermined lengths of the supports are such that with the supports mounted on the chassis side on opposing sides of the port, the strap ends connected to the respective supports, the cable in the slot and the plug mated with the port, the curvature is held in the central portion of the strap, so that the central portion of the strap clamps the plug in its mated position with the port.
