Abstract

Generally, aspects of embodiments of the invention include cable separator spline which comprises a plurality of longitudinally extending walls joined along a central axis of the spline, and a plurality of longitudinally extending channels. Each longitudinally extending channel is defined by a pair of the longitudinally extending walls, where the pair of longitudinally extending walls includes a first wall substantially thicker than a second wall. Other embodiments include a cable separator spline assembly having a plurality of longitudinally extending walls joined along a central axis of the spline, and a plurality of longitudinally extending channels. Each longitudinally extending channel is defined by a pair of the longitudinally extending walls, wherein a pair of opposing longitudinally extending walls have defined through them a common gap defining two separate sub-splines having T-shaped cross-sections. Embodiments of the invention feature various spline shapes as well as various internal structures and materials.
