A connector restraint device is disclosed for re- straining electrical wire end connectors plugged into connectors installed in a wall of an electrical equipment enclosure, and for tying down electrical wires attached to the electrical wire end connectors. The connector re- straint device includes a base portion to which is joined an elongate wire support and tie-down angle having a horizontal leg and a vertical leg depending from the horizontal leg. Each of the horizontal and vertical legs are formed having a number of closely spaced square aper- tures along the legs, the apertures being sized for re- ceiving conventional wire ties. Further disclosed are connector restraint device side flanges joined to ends of the device base portion for detachably attaching the an- gle to the enclosure with the wire support and tie-down angle parallel to and spaced about three inches away from the enclosure wall in which the connectors are installed and with the horizontal leg parallel to the enclosure wall in which the connectors are installed at the height of the connectors so that electrical wires connected to the connectors can be extended generally horizontally over the horizontal leg. The wire support and tie-down angle is formed so that the vertical leg depends from an edge of the horizontal leg that is closest to the enclo- sure when the angle is attached to the enclosure. Both rear-mount and front-mount connector restraint devices are disclosed for when enclosure-mounted connectors are installed in the enclosure rear wall or front wall.
