A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11888298B2) discloses a cable guide designed with a fastening structure and a series of guide ducts connected by the fastening structure. Each guide duct consists of multiple serpentine arc-shaped duct segments that can be compressed and stretched due to their resilient nature. The spacing between the end portions of adjacent duct segments varies based on their compressed or stretched state, ensuring efficient cable management.

The cable guide, primarily made of polymer, features U-shaped serpentine arc-shaped duct segments that can be interconnected to form a continuous path for cables. The design allows for overlapping guide ducts and includes a fastening structure with through-openings for secure attachment. With a sinuosity of over 20%, the duct segments provide flexibility for cable routing. Additionally, the patent includes claims for a device incorporating the cable guide between pivot joints and a method for fastening the cable guide to a support structure for cable organization around pivot joints.
