Abstract
A cable guide is provided for guiding lines or cables in a guide channel, the guide preferably having a continuous, elongated slide strip, which can be disposed in a curved orientation to form opposite upper and lower strands and a deflection zone between them. The cable guide has a plurality of guide links that can pivot relative to one another and are preferably arranged on the side of the slide strip facing away from the opposite strand and mounted on the slide strip in detachable fashion. In order to improve a generic cable guide such that it has a longer service life and less noise emission, elements are provided, in addition to any existing slide strip, that absorb the tensile forces acting in the longitudinal direction of the cable guide when it is in essentially extended position. The tensile force-absorbing elements are preferably designed as positive locking elements, e.g., in the form of projections protruding into the pivoting plane and corresponding recesses arranged on adjacent guide links.
