Abstract
A cable guide assembly for use with a panel which has a plurality of adjacent mounted circuit members, such as panel mounted telephone switching circuits, with a plurality of fiber optic or other cable whose performance would be impaired if bent beyond a minimum bend radius extending therefrom. The guide assembly manages the running of the cable toward either end of the panel from each circuit member in a manner such that the cable cannot be bent beyond its minimum bend radius. In particular, an effective curve surface is provided at each point where the cable changes direction, with the cable passing over such surface and such surface having a radius which is not less than the minimum bend radius of the cable.
