Patent ID: 7017267

Claim:
A method of network cabling installation between two network components, comprising: assembling a prefabricated network cable at a location distant from a network installation, the network cable including a plurality of conductors; attaching sub-components, including a first subcomponent and a second subcomponent, one of each said first subcomponent and second subcomponent being at each end of the cable, and substantially immobilizing each of said conductors within each said sub-component for maintaining said conductors in predetermined spatial relationship to each end, said sub-components being of cross section to permit passage through passageways and traverse conduits and encountered obstacles during network wiring installation; running the cable along a continuous path through encountered obstacles and conduits between first and second network interfaces, the ends of the cable deploying proximate the respective interfaces; joining the first sub-component in conductive connection to a first network component associated with the first network interface; joining the second sub-component in conductive connection to a second network component associated with the second network interface; thereby permitting communication between the first and second network interfaces; wherein the sub-component comprises a wire guide and a wire guide cap for substantially immobilizing the conductors, the wire guide cap having conducting teeth and the method further comprises; joining the wire guide to the wire guide cap; contacting the conductors with the conducting teeth; and forming a conductive connection between the conductors in the wire guide and the wire guide cap.
