Abstract
A coupling for a cable routing system includes wall guides spaced apart by a thickness equal to a thickness of the walls of fiber troughs to be joined by the coupling. The wall guides carry a fastener system including a bracket disposed to oppose an external surface of a trough or fitting attached to the coupling. A fastener is carried on the bracket and is axially drivable to pierce and penetrate into the wall thickness of a coupled trough.
