Abstract
A device for providing microbending and bend radius protection for cables in a cable distribution or management system. The device includes an arcuate member of radius greater than or equal to the minimum bend radius of a prescribed cable, a plurality of flanges disposed on the arcuate member perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the arcuate member, a quarter turn fastener, an opening for receiving the quarter turn fastener, a plurality of protuberances, and a plurality of recesses for receiving the protuberances.
Claims14
A device for guiding and protecting cables comprising:
- a bend member having a bend surface, said bend surface configured, dimensioned and positioned to allow passage of a cable and to prevent said cable from bending according to a radius less than a minimum bend radius;
- at least one guide member located on said bend member, said guide member directing said passage of said cable;
- fastening means for selectively and releasably attaching said device to similar devices and for selectively and releasably mounting said device within a cabling system.
A device for guiding and protecting cables comprising:
- means for allowing passage of said cables and for preventing said cables from bending according to a radius less than a minimum bend radius;
- and
- means for fastening said device to other said devices and for fastening said device within a cabling system.
