A ducting system and method for managing fiber optic, or other sorts of
cabling. The duct has perforated circular punchouts in its sides. To drop
cables to equipment below, the user simply punches out one of the
circular perforated sections in the duct. This will leave a hole, which
is sized to receive a downspout. Instead of punchouts, holes for the
downspout could simply be drilled in the initial product. Regardless, the
downspout is dropped to its full extent through and out of the duct
through the hole, and is then retained by a grommet which bears against
the interior of the duct. Once the downspout is secured in the hole, the
selected cables are dropped from the duct through the hole, down the
downspout, and into standard ribbed flex tubing, which may be force fit
onto the downspout.
