UNIVERSAL CABLE ATTACHMENT

The present disclosure is directed to examples of universal cable attachments for securing a cable in a secured position. The universal cable attachments utilize a pair of counter-rotating lobes or one lobe and a counter surface to clamp against the cable. The lobes are configured such that they can accept a variety of cable diameters, thus eliminating the need for the provision of multiple sizes of unique cable attachments in certain applications. The lobes are configured such that they provide little or no resistance to a cable being inserted in an insertion direction and such that they lock against the cable when the cable is pulled in the opposite direction. In one example, the lobes have eccentrically oriented tapered channels to accomplish the clamping function. In another example, the lobes include a plurality of differently sized plates to accomplish the clamping function.
