Abstract
An apparatus includes a cable track configured to be coupled to a moveable object and to be pushed and pulled by the movable object without buckling. The cable track is also configured to transport at least one signal or material to or from the moveable object. The cable track has a curved profile. A cross-section of the cable track showing a height, a width, and a thickness of the cable track can have a '(' shape. The cable track can be configured to be bent in order to create a 'U' bend in the cable track, and the cable track can be configured to be pushed and pulled without buckling to change a location of the “U” bend along the cable track. The cable track can be configured to change shape repeatedly between a “J” shape and a “U” shape.
