Abstract

A cabling module arrangement includes a cabling strip and electric wires supported on the strip and a common plug to which at least some of the electric wires are electrically connected. The cabling strip has a geometrically stable configuration, and retainers are provided to secure the wires to the cable strip. One or more wires branch off from the cabling strip, and additional retainers are provided to secure the branching wires to the cabling strip. This provides a cabling module arrangement which is assembly- and disassembly-compatible and assures functionally secure connections of electrically actuatable accessories which are difficult to access.
