ABSTRACT:
A cable guide for creating an organized cable bundle. A plurality of channels for receiving cable are provided in a rotating column ring at one end of the cable guide and a cylindrical portion terminates at a flexible boot on the opposite end. A slot in the cable guide extends between the two ends of the guide and can be aligned with the individual channels by rotating the column ring to provide access to the channels to add or remove cable therefrom. Each channel is labeled so that the installer can identify its associated cable. Cable ties that are pre-tied around the cylindrical portion can be slid off the cable guide and around the cable bundle. An alternate embodiment of the invention is provided with a second rotatable ring that effectively separates each channel in two separate compartments for receiving twice as many cables.
