Claim Text:
1. An energy guide chain comprising: a plurality of links articulable with one another which form two parallel link strands, a plurality of transverse webs, wherein the two parallel link strands are detachably connected by the transverse webs, wherein adjacent links of the plurality of links of each link strand are angleable to one another by an articulable connection, wherein the articulable connection between the adjacent links comprises at least one joint element, wherein the at least one joint element is elastically deformable such that the adjacent links are angleable to one another in an angling direction, wherein, in each link strand, two adjacent links comprise an internal link and an external link, wherein internal links and external links alternate in a longitudinal direction of the chain and wherein the internal links are different from the external links, wherein the internal links and the external links are mirror-symmetrical to a vertical center plane extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal direction, wherein, the internal links and the external links are usable in both link strands, and the adjacent internal and external links are detachably connected by the at least one joint element, wherein the at least one joint element which connects the adjacent internal and external links is molded-on at least one of the adjacent internal and external links or is a separate component having opposing end regions which connect the adjacent internal and external links in the longitudinal direction of the chain, wherein the end regions are mirror-symmetrical with respect to the vertical center plane.
