Abstract

A securement system (300, 400, 500) includes at least one retention arrangement (302, 402, 502, 512, 514) securing a tether (240) to a distribution cable (220); and a release device (304, 404, 504) secured to the distribution cable. The release device extends along at least a portion of the length of tether. Pulling the release device away from the distribution cable disengages the retention arrangement to free the tether from the distribution cable. Multiple retention arrangements can be used to secure the tether.
