crelf Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Hi All, I'm lookking for something (it's name escapes me for the moment) that holds cables - I used to have one at a previous employer: it's a rack that attaches to the wall and you can hang your RS-232 cables on it, as well as your 1m power leads, and your banana plug patch cables, etc. Anyone know what this is called? Better yet, anyone know of a type they use and like? Even better yet, anyone got a couple that they don't need anymore? cheers crelf -edit Found one! Quote Link to comment
AnalogKid2DigitalMan Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Darn Chris: I was expecting to see a pic from a bar on 4th St in Austin. Instead I see a query about Test cable Holders. Try DigiKey #'s 501-1113-ND, 501-1114-ND, and 501-1053-ND (all from Pomona) -AK2DM Edit: I see you already found one. You should get 2 for a nice pair.

LAVA is great!! Quote Link to comment
orko Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 I'm used to seeing cheap ones like This for $12-$13 USD As a side note, I never thought of the word origin of "rack" possibly being from the German "rake" (or vice versa). If that's the case, the shape of a typical cable rack does look like an upturned leaf rake... Quote Link to comment
