Abstract
A modular cable protection system which is intended to protect electrical cables, fluid hoses and data cables from externally caused physical or mechanical damage. The modular protective components may be detachably interlocked with other structural components so as to form a suitably sized cable protection system. The components may be constituted of molded plastic material of high rigidity and strength, and are adapted to be selectively joined to other components as required to provide the necessary protective array in a simply assembled and decorative manner which not only fulfills the desired protective tasks but which is also authentically pleasing in appearance. Further components, in the form of accessories, include spaced male and female interlockable connectors and are adapted to be latchingly connected to respective complementary female and male connectors as required, may be tapered or shaped so as to extend between a height coextensive with that of the cable protector at the juncture therewith, to a thinner edge at the opposite end so as to form a crossover ramp at least at one side and preferably both sides of the cable protector or protectors.
