1. A support for a plurality of cables, comprising:
a cable separator beam having a length along a central beam axis and respective opposite beam ends;
first and second half-cylindrically-shaped sleeves formed integrally with the cable separator beam on respective opposite ends of the cable separator beam, each respective half-cylindrically-shaped sleeve having first and second sides opening outwardly from the respective beam end with a cylinder axis perpendicular to the beam axis, with each of the first and second sides of each respective half-cylindrically-shaped sleeve having a mating surface facing away from the separator beam and terminating in a plane perpendicular to the beam axis;
a half-cylindrically-shaped end-cap having first and second sides opening outwardly, with each of the first and second sides of the half-cylindrically-shaped end-cap having a mating surface that is configured to align with a corresponding one of the mating surfaces of the first and second sides of one of the first and second half-cylindrically-shaped sleeves; and
wherein, one of the first and second half-cylindrically-shaped sleeves and the half-cylindrically-shaped end-cap form an enclosed cylindrical space for passage along the cylindrical axis of one or more cables, when the mating surfaces of the half-cylindrically-shaped end-cap substantially align with the corresponding mating surfaces of the one of the first and second half-cylindrically-shaped sleeves, wherein each of the first and second half-cylindrically-shaped sleeves include one or more sleeve grooves formed on an outer surface thereof, and the cable separator beam includes one or more slots defined therethrough at the one or more sleeve grooves, wherein the one or more sleeve grooves are configured to receive a flexible fastener therein, and wherein the one or more slots are configured to allow the flexible fastener in a respective groove to pass through a respective slot.
