Cable organizer
First Claim
1. A cable organizer comprising:
- an elongate body having an elongate axis and a cable receiving end and a terminal end; and
a plurality of wire-receiving passages formed in said elongate body and separated from each other by electrically conductive portions in said body, each wire-receiving passage extending from the cable receiving end to the terminal end and being open at both said ends, each wire-receiving passage being adapted for guiding therethrough a plurality of wires of a multi-pair communication cable from the cable receiving end to the terminal end, and being adapted for arranging said plurality of wires at the terminal end for connection with a modular plug, at least one of said wire-receiving passage including first and second mutually parallel, but not coaxial, elongate surface portions, each extending parallel to said elongate axis, and an intermediate surface portion joining said first and second elongate surface portions, said intermediate portion being not parallel to said first and second elongate surface portions.

Abstract
A cable organizer including an elongate body having two opposite ends, one called a cable receiving end and the other called a terminal receiving end, and a plurality of wire-receiving passages formed in the elongate body and separated from each other by electrically conductive portions in the body, each wire-receiving passage extending from the cable receiving end to the terminal receiving end and being open at both ends, each wire-receiving passage being adapted for guiding therethrough a plurality of wires of a multi-pair communication cable from the cable receiving end to the terminal receiving end, and being adapted for arranging a plurality of wires of a multi-pair communication cable at the terminal receiving end for connection with a modular plug. The wire receiving passages have parallel but not coplanar surface portions that are joined by an intermediate portion. This causes a different wire receiving passage cross-section at the cable-receiving end compared to the terminal-receiving end.
