Abstract
Abstract On a supporting surface (e.g. in a telephone subset or handset) are ribs arranged along the cable path on alternate sides. They are disposed to form a labyrinth so that several cable paths will result in which up to three cables can be inserted optionally, e.g. two in the same direction and one to the left or right side.
