A device and method for mounting and wiring avionic equipment such as modules
and
display units in an aircraft is provided. The novel configuration utilizes a flexible
guide that routes communication lines from a device such as a display unit to other
devices such as avionic modules. Because the flexible guide is only allowed motion
in substantially a two dimensional plane, the communication lines routed by the
flexible guide are held securely in place before, during, and after any access
procedure. Damage or failure of communication lines is prevented by the structural
support of the flexible guide, while at the same time, the display unit may be
easily removed to allow access to devices such as modules located behind.
