Abstract

A medical cable system includes a plurality of device cables (24) having distal ends adapted to be electrically connected to medical sensing devices (22) that, in turn, are attached to a patient. A main cable (28) has a first end electrically connected to proximal ends of the plurality of device cables (24), and a second end adapted to be connected to a monitor (26). A cable furcation block supports (46) the proximal ends of the device cables (24) and the first end of the main cable (28) with respect to a pole clamp (36). The cable furcation block (46) may be releasably coupled to the mount (36).
