1. A cable-clamp system for fixing cables within an electronic chassis, comprising:
a base structure located within the electronic chassis, the base structure including an upper region, a first side region, and a second side region, the upper region positioned between the first side region and the second side region, the upper region including a plurality of cable-receptor cavities for receiving the cables, the first side region including an opening, the second side region including a slot, the base structure further including a threaded bore;
a clamp including an engagement surface, a first end, and a second end, the first end including a hook configured for insertion into the opening of the first side region to allow for pivoting movement of the clamp relative to the base structure, the second end including a plunger configured for retention within the slot of the second side region, the clamp further including a hole; and
a threaded fastener configured to be inserted through the hole of the clamp and threadably engage the threaded bore of the base structure;
wherein, in response to the clamp pivoting downwardly to cause the engagement surface to engage the cables, the plunger is retained within the slot to maintain a clamping force on the cables between the base structure and the clamp; and
wherein the threaded fastener assists with maintaining the clamping force on the cables between the base structure and the clamp.
