    Abstract: A method and apparatus for inhibiting tangling of a plurality of cables. The cable support apparatus includes a support brace having a plurality of legs, together at least partially surrounding a cable run for a plurality of cables. A side of the legs opposite the cable run is formed with a plurality of spaced apart passages for separating and guiding the plurality of cables with respect to the cable run. These passages at least partially surround corresponding cables and may be used together with a detachable clamping plate to retain the cables within the corresponding passages. The method includes passing cables to be connected to a movable member through corresponding cable passages in a first direction along an outer portion of the cable support brace and securing the cables within the cable passages. The cables are turned in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction and passed through an opening in an interior portion of the cable support brace.
