1. An encasing unit of plastic for an elongate flexible encasement of a protective line guide, wherein the encasing unit comprises a plurality of receiving channels extending in a longitudinal direction from a first end to a second end for separate guidance of respectively at least one line, said at least one line comprising at least one of a cable and a hose,
wherein at least one receiving channel of the plurality of receiving channels has a functional region for opening and closing the at least one receiving channel, wherein the functional region extends in the longitudinal direction from the first end to the second end, wherein the functional region has an opened state and a closed state, and the functional region includes two co-operating closure parts for closing the opened state of the functional region,
wherein in the opened state of the functional region, the at least one line can be introduced transversely to the longitudinal direction into the at least one receiving channel, or removed transversely to the longitudinal direction from the at least one receiving channel and wherein in the closed state of the functional region, the at least one receiving channel is dust-tightly closed transversely to the longitudinal direction,
wherein the encasing unit is made of elastic plastic and/or the encasing unit is configured to be formed into a direction-changing arc between a movable run having one end connectable to a movable connection and a stationary run having one end connectable to a stationary connection.
