Default What do you call those things you use to keep your cables in the cable guides?

I'm switching out my shifter cables right now, and currently the cables are attached to the tubing using zipties. I've seen another bike that had these U-shaped snaps that fit in the cable guides, and I'd like to buy a set of those, if possible. Anybody know what I'm talking about, and what they're called?

These plastic clips shown here? The aluminum piece shown is the part that can be welded to the frame.

I like Zip Ties.... I have lost several of these plastic clips off the Socom. Zip ties stay where you put them

Yeah, me too. When I was at Whistler, I lost all of the ones on my DH bike. I was resorting to using cut zip-ties I found on the ground, until I could later get back to my tool box to get new zip-ties.

Haha, thanks everyone. I guess they're called C-clips or U-clips or something? Anyway, turns out I didn't need to cut the zipties on the frame when I was changing the housing.
