Cable-guiding element

A cable guiding element for guidance of electrical lines, comprising:

• at least two cable channel elements, the at least two cable channel elements being pivotally connected to one another,
• wherein a first end of a first cable channel element of the at least two cable channel elements has an articulated head and a first end of a second cable channel element of the at least two cable channel elements has a corresponding articulated socket so that the first end of the first cable channel element and the first end of the second cable channel element form a joint via which the at least two cable channel elements are connected to one another, the joint having a channel extending from a first side of the at least two channel elements to an opposite second side of the at least two channel elements for passing electrical lines axially through the channel from the first side of the at least two channel elements to the opposite second side of the at least two channel elements, and
• wherein there is a recess in a peripheral wall of the channel which extends over the entire length of the channel so that lines can be inserted laterally into the channel through the recess thereby avoiding the need for the lines to be passed axially through the full length of the channel.
