Abstract

A flexible organizing sleeve device for ordering a plurality of elongated members such as wire and/or cables. The sleeve comprises at least two sheets of flexible material having substantially the same dimensions of width, length and thickness. The interior facing surface of each sheet has attached thereto a plurality of resealable parallel mating strips running substantially along the length of the sleeve. To install the device, a user mates the first pair of parallel mating strips and places a wire, for example, next to the mated strips between the sheets. A user then mates the next consecutive pair of parallel mating strips. The wire is now contained within a compartment-like structure. The user simply repeats the mating process of forming separate and individual compartments for each wire until the entire organizing sleeve is filled and the plurality of wires are ordered.
