Abstract
An enclosed channel for routing of telecommunications or power cables. A double hinged raceway is provided that includes an extruded base and cover in which the cover is hingedly and removably connected to both sides of the base to allow easy access to the cables. The extruded base and cover snap together to provide an enclosed channel or cable pathway for routing of telecommunications or power cables. The symmetrical shape of the extruded base and cover allow the cover to be hinged open from either side of the base while providing a stopping point for the hinged cover in the formation of a trough for retaining cables prior to snapping the cover in the closed position.
