Abstract
An injection molding system includes an injection molding apparatus configured to perform injection molding with a mold, a conveyor apparatus configured to move the mold along a supporting plane; and a cable carrier configured to cover a cable connected to the mold, wherein a shape of the cable carrier changes for guiding the cable based on a movement of the mold by the conveyor apparatus, and wherein at least one of a first end of the cable carrier or a second end of the cable carrier are located below the supporting plane in a direction perpendicular to the supporting plane.
