A cable holder, in particular for fiber optics cables, includes a base piece
that
contains a cable receiving duct that is open on top and axially, into which a cable
can be loaded, and a cover piece that provides a retaining structure and that is
hinged on the base piece to swivel from an open position into a closed position
around a swivel axis. In the open position of the cover piece, the cover piece
sticks out from the base piece and the cable is loadable into the cable receiving
duct. In the closed position of the cover piece, the cover piece extends along
the base piece and the retaining structure localizes the loaded cable on the cable
receiving duct. The swivel axis extends in the area of one axial end of the cable
receiving duct perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable receiving
duct and/or perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the cable.
