Abstract
Cable protectors and related methods are provided for protecting cables while being positioned between raised floor panels. The cable protector has a base portion having at least one receptacle channel configured to receive a cable, wherein the at least one receptacle channel is positioned between a first side ridge and a second side ridge that each extend vertically to different heights relative to the at least one receptacle channel. The cable protector also has a cover panel mounted to the base portion and supported by the first and second side ridges. The cover panel covers the at least one receptacle channel at a non-orthogonal angle with respect to the vertical direction. Other cable protectors disclosed have a modular design or a feature for connection to adjacent floor panels having differing heights or interlocking designs.
