A cable retainer for connecting a flat cable to an external object may include a base and/or a locking member. The base may include a platform, a securing protrusion, and/or a fastener. The securing protrusion may extend from the platform in a first direction and the fastener may extend from the platform in a second direction opposite the first direction. The fastener may be configured for connection with said external object. The locking member may include an interior surface defining a hole and an internal connection formation extending from at least a portion of the interior surface. In an assembled configuration, the locking member may be connected to the base, and the cable retainer may be configured to secure a portion of said flat cable between the platform of the base and the locking member.
