    Abstract: A guide tool for organizing and identifying telecommunications cables during network cabling installation. Said guide tool is comprised of a solid, flexible material with multiple openings arranged in a curvilinear pattern around an arch. Cables are placed through the openings and pulled a desired distance. The guide tool is then slid by hand along the cables and the cables are secured in a bundle as they emerge from the back of the guide tool. Upon reaching the desired distance, cables are removed and a subsequent set is placed through the openings. The arch is positioned so that the secured bundle of the initial set passes through the arch. This placement maintains the guide tool on substantially the same path as the initial set, enabling the user to secure the subsequent set along substantially the same path as the initial set. This process is repeated for remaining set.
