Abstract:
1. A method of assembling a cable routing system comprising the steps of: providing first and second U-shaped spaced apart end members; providing a telescoping U-shaped trough with first and second trough sections, the first and second trough sections each having a terminal end and a receiving end, the receiving ends of the first and second trough sections being in sliding contact with one another, the terminal ends of the first and second trough sections having the same connecting configuration such that the telescoping U-shaped trough is reversible; positioning the reversible telescoping U-shaped trough between the first and second end members; and connecting the terminal ends of the first and second trough sections of the reversible telescoping U-shaped trough to the first and second end members, wherein the receiving ends of the first and second trough sections remain freely slideable relative to one another during use of the completely assembled cable routing system so that the first and second trough sections slide relative to one another when only one terminal end of one of the first and second trough sections is disconnected from the respective first and second end member.
