Abstract
A cable guide and system are disclosed for maintaining a desired bend radius. The cable guide includes two substantially curved tube halves, each tube half comprising a curved portion having a predetermined radius. The cable guide also includes a hinge joining the tube halves and a fastening member configured to fasten the tube halves together. A first end of each of the tube halves is shaped to adhere to a cable connector. The cable connector terminates a cable. The tube halves have an open configuration and a closed configuration. When in the closed configuration, the tube halves are fastened together by the fastening member. In the closed configuration, the tube halves form a tubular sleeve. The tubular sleeve includes a lumen through which a cable may extend.
