1. A system for controlling movement of cables connected to a base and to a reciprocating bracket, the system comprising:

  • a housing having a horizontal upper interior surface and a horizontal lower interior surface substantially parallel to the horizontal upper interior surface, the horizontal upper interior surface separated from the horizontal lower interior surface by a first distance;

    a reciprocating device attached to the reciprocating bracket to move the reciprocating bracket from a first position to a second position;

    a plurality of separators each having vertically aligned openings therethrough, the plurality of separators each further having a substantially flat top surface and a substantially flat bottom surface for contacting the horizontal upper interior surface of the housing and the horizontal lower interior surface of the housing, respectively, to prevent an angular displacement of the plurality of separators from a vertical alignment, the plurality of separators each having a height between the top surface and the bottom surface less than the first distance, the cables passing through the vertically aligned openings and affixed to the plurality of separators, the plurality of separators for maintaining the cables vertically aligned at the plurality of separators; and

    an elongated flexible barrier on at least one side of the plurality of separators and the cables, the elongated flexible barrier comprising a first end attached to the base and a second end attached to the reciprocating bracket.
