Abstract
A structured cabling system includes a plurality of data cables (A-F), one end of each cable being secured to a jack of a multiple jack assembly () and the other end of each cable being secured to an individual jack (A-F) located within a protective enclosure (). The individual cables are mechanically secured to at least the protective enclosure () and/or a strain relief member () within the cable bundle is secured to the protective enclosure (). The entire assembly may be pre-formed under factory conditions and delivered to an installation site. The multiple jack assembly () may then be secured, preferably by snap-fitting, to a rack assembly and the protective enclosure () may be used to draw the entire cable length to the required position. Once the cable is in position the protective enclosure () is discarded and the jack secured to their final use positions. In an alternative embodiment the protective enclosure forms a housing for jacks (A-F) in their final use position and may, for example, be snap-fitted to a floor box for this purpose.
