Abstract:
1. A channelling assembly for guiding cable on a cable management tray, the assembly comprising: a ducting member having an inlet end, an outlet end and partitions extending between the inlet end and the outlet end so as to form open top channels therebetween into which cable can be laid through the open top of each channel; a retaining member associated with each channel, each retaining member being engaged with tops of a neighbouring pair of partitions so as to close the open top of the channel formed therebetween; and a resiliently deformable region being formed on each retaining member which extends down into the channel upon engaging the retaining member with the partitions so as to compress cables located in the channel between the resiliently deformable member and the bottom of the channel and thereby securely retain the cables in place; wherein the resiliently deformable member is formed by a plurality of planar panels which are stacked on top of each other and connected to each other along a narrow connection line which forms a tear line that enables a bottom panel to be removed easily from the remainder of the stack to reduce the height of the retaining member and thereby allow more cables to be accommodated in the channel.
