A system, method and apparatus for guiding and installing cables in a building provides automatic and controlled release of cables that are temporarily retained by the cabling apparatuses to allow the once retained and now bundled cables to be permanently mounted in the building. The cabling apparatus has a frame supporting four elongated rollers so as to define a rectangular cable retention area bounded by the four elongated rollers. The cable retention area allows for the accumulation and retention of a number of cables fed through the cable retention area. A lower elongated roller of the four elongated rollers is pivotally connected to the frame such that pivoting of the lower elongated roller releases the accumulated cables. A remote controlled actuation system is connected to the pivoting lower elongated roller to provide automatic pivot control thereof. The system of a plurality of cabling apparatuses allows the stringing and temporary holding of one or more cables during a cabling installation and the simultaneous or individual release of the accumulated cables from the cabling apparatuses.
