Adhesive backed ducts for cabling applications

A duct for distributing one or more communication lines, comprising:

• a flexible, elongated body having a conduit portion with a lengthwise bore formed therein, the conduit portion containing one or more communication lines;
• a flange structure extending lengthwise adjacent the elongated body to mount the duct to a mounting surface;
• a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on a generally flat bottom surface of the flange structure;
• and
• a strength member extending lengthwise with the flange structure and disposed within the conduit portion.

A duct for distributing one or more communication lines, comprising:

• a flexible, elongated body having a plurality of conduit portions, each conduit portion having a lengthwise bore formed therein and configured to house an individual communication line;
• a flange structure extending lengthwise adjacent the elongated body to mount the duct to a mounting surface;
• and
• a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on a generally flat bottom surface of the flange structure, wherein the conduit portions are disposed adjacent each other in the same plane on an upper surface of the flange structure.

A duct for distributing one or more communication lines, comprising:

• a flexible, elongated body having a conduit portion with a lengthwise bore formed therein, the conduit portion containing one or more communication lines;
• a flange structure extending lengthwise adjacent the elongated body to mount the duct to a mounting surface;
• and
• a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on a generally flat bottom surface of the flange structure, wherein the conduit portion includes a longitudinal slot formed therein to provide for insertion and removal of the at least one communication line.

A duct for distributing one or more communication lines, comprising:

• a flexible, elongated body having a conduit portion with a lengthwise bore formed therein, the conduit portion containing one or more communication lines;
• a flange structure extending lengthwise adjacent the elongated body to mount the duct to a mounting surface;
• and
• a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on a generally flat bottom surface of the flange structure, wherein the conduit portion is attached to the flange structure via a thin web of material having a thickness such that upon modest application of a peeling force, a segment of the conduit portion is detachable from the flange structure.
