Abstract:
1. A cabling tool, comprising: a cable sorting threader with spaced apart holes sized to pass individual cables therethrough; and a cable labeling system mountable against the cable sorting threader, the cable labeling system configured and arranged i) to align two adjacent cable labels vertically over each hole and vertically over a corresponding cable passing through each hole, and ii) to allow correct transfer of a first label of the two cable labels to a beginning end of the corresponding cable located vertically below the first label and transfer of a second label of the two cable labels to a terminal end of the corresponding cable located vertically below the second label, the thus-applied first and second labels serving as beginning-of-pull and end-of-pull labels to correctly identify the beginning and terminal ends of the individual cables being pulled, further comprising: a pair of frame arms ( an overall lower frame ( the overall lower frame ( the frame arms ( the tool is reconfigurable from the ready for transport condition to the ready for use condition by i) relocation of the staging bar from the first position to the second position, ii) relocation of said inner elements from the compacted position to the extended position, and iii) moving the pair of frame arms from being coextensive with the lower frame to being orthogonal to the lower frame.
