Title:
CABLE GUIDE APPARATUS, CABLE CONTAINMENT SYSTEM AND METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/110921
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Cable guide apparatus (10) comprises an elongate strip-like backplate (12) having a plurality of spaced-apart apertures (16) therealong, and a coverless framework (14) mounted to the backplate (12). The framework (14) includes a plurality of hooped support elements (18) extending laterally across the backplate (12) and spaced apart longitudinally along the backplate (12). A plurality of elongate struts (20) is also included which interconnects the hooped support elements (18). The elongate struts (20) are spaced apart along a longitudinal extent of each hooped support element (18), and a longitudinal extent of the elongate struts (20) matches or substantially matches a longitudinal extent of the backplate (12). The apertures (16) are offset relative to the hooped support elements (18) and the elongate struts (20), so as to provide at least substantially unhindered access for an installer. By preferably forming the apparatus (10) of metal, at least BS5839 relating to the installation of fire-alarm cabling can be met, thereby greatly simplifying installation.
