Abstract: A disconnect system for modular cable protectors includes tool engagement features to facilitate disassembly of the side ramps from the center sections of the cable protectors using a hand tool. The tool is used to removably engage these tool engagement features to enable the user to exert an upward force to disengage the edge connectors and end connectors on the side ramps and center section of each cable protector. For example, the tool engagement features can be openings (e.g., slots or recesses) in the top surface of the side ramp with undercuts adjacent to the lower ends of the openings. A tool with vertical rods is manually inserted into the openings to disengage the side ramps. Horizontal projections at the bottom of the vertical rods engage the undercuts and allow the user to disengage the side ramps by lifting upward on the tool.
