Adjustable cable restraint

A cable restraint for a telecommunications equipment frame includes mounting brackets adapted for mounting to the frame, a cross bar, and an adjustment mechanism connecting the cross bar to the mounting brackets. In one embodiment, the cable restraint further includes arms spaced apart by the cross bar and depending therefrom. Each mounting bracket has a first end adjacent the frame, a second end spaced from the first end and the frame, and a slot formed therethrough that extends between the first end and the second end. Each arm has an externally threaded stud that engages the slot such that the position of the cross bar relative to the mounting bracket and the frame is adjustable between a retracted position at a first predetermined distance from the first ends of the mounting brackets and an extended position at a second predetermined distance from the first ends of the mounting brackets.
