ABSTRACT:
A cable handling system for routing a group of cables to a rotatable hub having an arm extending therefrom has a sleeve which partitions the group of cables into side-by-side subgroups. The sleeve is flexible and allows the cables to slide and flex within it. Forward and rearward straps attach the sleeve to a forward position on the arm and a fixed rearward position to hold the sleeve longitudinally in place and subject it to longitudinal and transverse tension. A cable rotator holds the cables next to the hub where they enter the hub area and allows them to pivot in the plane of rotation of the hub as the hub is rotated but does not allow longitudinal sliding of the cables. In the arm area, rigid longitudinal partitions maintain the subgrouping of the cables and the cables are enclosed on the top and bottom to longitudinally support the cables against buckling and facilitate sliding among the cables.
