Abstract: An apparatus and method for retaining a length of fiber optic cable to a circuit board includes a body portion. The body portion of the apparatus includes at least a pair of spaced legs extending from the body portion, each of the legs is adapted to be received in a mounting opening formed in the PC board. Each of the spaced legs includes a foot portion adapted for securing the body to the circuit board and at least a pair of spaced arms extend from the body portion defining a slot between the arm and the body portion for receiving and retaining a portion of the length of fiber optic cable. The arms are spaced a distance from each other for retaining the fiber optic cable in an arc having a radius greater than a minimum bend radius of the fiber optic cable.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for retaining a length of fiber optic cable to a circuit board includes a spool-shaped retention apparatus. A body portion of the apparatus includes a channel formed about the periphery of the body portion for receiving and retaining a portion of the length of fiber optic cable in an arc having a radius greater than a minimum bend radius of the fiber optic cable. A plurality of legs extend from the body portion, each of the legs is adapted to be received in a mounting opening formed in the PC board. Each of the spaced legs may include a foot portion adapted for securing the body to the circuit board.
