1. In a telecommunication overhead cable distribution system having "T"-shaped distribution units at designated distribution locations and cable support sections extending between the distribution locations for distributing telecommunication cables vertically and horizontally to and from telecommunication termination panels while protecting and preventing the telecommunication cables from being bent in an arc of less than a predetermined radius of curvature, in which each cable support section comprises:

  • a plurality of interconnecting cable support units that are pivotally interconnected to each other for receiving and protecting the telecommunication cables between the "T"-shaped distribution units to enable the cables to be distributed in vertical orientations or horizontal orientations between the distribution locations;

    each of the cable support units are articulatively interconnected to enable the units to be selectively pivoted both about a substantially vertical axis and about a substantially horizontal axis relative to the adjacent cable support units to enable the cables to be distributed in the vertical orientation and the horizontal orientation;

    each of the cable support units having a male member and a female member that are mounted for pivotal movement relative to each other in a substantially vertical plane about the substantially horizontal axis;

    said female member having a female connector element for receiving a complementary male connector element of an adjacent cable support unit to enable the unit to pivot in a substantially horizontal plane about the vertical axis.
