  • Patent number: 7696433
    Abstract: A cable outlet element (101) for leading out a cable (106) that can be muted through a raceway arrangement (105) comprises a cable lead-in section (101), a raceway arrangement connection (102), a cable lead-out section (103) and a cable outlet connection (104). The raceway arrangement connection (102) can be connected to a raceway arrangement (105) such that a cable (106) that can be routed through the raceway arrangement (105) can be fed into the cable lead-in section (101). To jointly form a cable outlet aperture the cable outlet connection (104) can be connected to a cable outlet connection (111) of another cable outlet element (107) such that at the connected cable outlet connections (104,111) a cable (106) fed into the cable lead-in section (101) can be led out through the jointly formed cable outlet aperture.

  • Patent number: 6875916
    Abstract: A conduit system for laying cables along the floor of a passenger cabin of an aircraft includes longitudinal and transverse cable guide elements respectively forming cable channels, and cable branch junctions at intersections of the longitudinal and transverse guide elements. Each guide element includes a lower part secured to the cabin floor, and an upper part secured (e.g. snap fitted) onto the lower part to cover the cable channel. The cable branch junction includes a lower section secured to the floor and covered by an upper section, and allows the cables to continue straight through the junction or to be deflected by 90° or by 180°. With this arrangement, a greater number and greater diameter of cables can be laid out with a minimal installation effort. The components of the system are easily adaptable to any required installation layout, while providing a continuous covered protected enclosure for the cables.
