Abstract
The cable routing device as disclosed is integrally formed and includes at least one base and at least one cable guiding portion. The base includes a tongue extending from one end and a tool engageable portion at the other end. The tongue preferably has an enlarged end which is adapted to be driven behind the bottom edge of a piece of siding by a tool being struck against the tool engaging portion to thereby securely position the cable routing device in close proximity to the bottom edge of the piece of siding. Each device has a cable guiding portion which is generally U-shaped and which tapers in depth from the upper end towards the other end. The cable guiding portion is adapted to guide a cable in one of two substantially perpendicular positions by either positioning the cable proximate the bight of the U-shaped portion or by its engagement in notches in the upper edges of the sidewalls of the U-shaped guide portion.
