Claim 0:
1. A cable management assembly which includes:
a manhole chamber;
a cable management system in the manhole chamber;
a fixed member which has attachment formations associated therewith being attached or attachable to the manhole chamber;
a displaceable member which is displaceable relative to the fixed member between at least an extended condition and a retracted condition;
first cable fixing formations provided on the displaceable member;
second cable fixing formations provided on the manhole chamber;
a displacement mechanism configured to cause displacement of the displaceable member relative to the fixed member, the displacement mechanism including an actuator to translate an input from a user to displacement of the displaceable member;
a guide mechanism for guiding the relative displacement of the displaceable member relative to the fixed member; and
at least one cable guide in the form of a flexible conduit or tube, wherein:
the cable guide defines a first cable entry/exit point at one end and a second cable entry/exit point at another end, the first and second cable entry/exit points being displaceable relative to each other;
the first cable entry/exit point is fixed to the first cable fixing formations of the displaceable member;
the second cable entry/exit point is fixed to the second cable fixing formations provided on the manhole chamber; and
the cable guide is configured to accommodate at least one cable therein extending between the first cable fixing formations on the displaceable member and the second cable fixing formations on the manhole chamber, such that displacement of the displaceable member causes the cable guide and the at least one cable contained therein to be displaced therewith between the first and second cable entry/exit points.
