Cable channel module, modular assembly of cable channel modules and method of assembling a modular assembly

A method of assembling a modular assembly of cable channel modules, comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of fixing means interconnected to one another by a string-like element;
• providing a plurality of cable channel modules, each cable channel module including a cable supporting section having a base and two side members, each of the two side members defining two hook shaped fixing points configured to receive one of the fixing means of the plurality of fixing means therebetween and a first connector and a second connector disposed at opposite sides of the base;
• wherein the first and second connectors are first and second components of an articulated link that is moveable about two axes of rotation, wherein a first fixing means of the plurality of fixing means is received in a first fixing point of a first cable channel module of the plurality of cable channel modules and a second fixing means of the plurality of fixing means connected to the first fixing means by the string-like element is received in a second fixing point of a second cable channel module of the plurality of cable channel modules connected to the first cable channel module via the articulated link, thereby fixing a relative position between the first cable channel module and the second cable channel module;
• connecting first connectors of respective cable channel modules to second connectors of the plurality of cable channel modules arranged adjacent to the first connectors of adjacent cable channel modules to obtain a flexible chain of cable channel modules;
• arranging the flexible chain of cable channel modules such that the flexible chain of cable channel modules adopts a desired final shape of the modular assembly of cable channel modules;
• and
• connecting the plurality of fixing means to each of the plurality of connected cable channel modules to form the modular assembly of cable channel modules having a rigid final shape.
