In order to fix a coaxial cable such as BASE-2, 10BASE-5) or an antenna cable of a television on the pedestal 1, a cylinder which is notched vertically is formed in the longitudinal direction of the pedestal 1.

It should be noted that any cable other than the coaxial cable may be used as long as the cable can be fitted into a portion obtained by cutting the cylinder vertically. For example, even a cable that is far from the shape of a coaxial cable, such as a flat cable, can be fixed by placing the cable horizontally in a portion where the cylinder is cut vertically.

The fitting members 12 are formed in the vicinity of both ends of the pedestal 1 over the entire length, but need not be formed over the entire length, and may be formed at predetermined intervals as appropriate. .

The cable cover 2 has a trapezoidal cross section.

The cable cover 2 includes a transparent portion 21 and an opaque portion 22, but the entire cable protector may be transparent or translucent.

The transparent portion 21 is made of a transparent plastic or a transparent ABS resin. In addition, even if it is not strictly transparent, it suffices if it is translucent to the extent that the presence or absence of the cable or the number of cables is visible.

For the opaque portion 22, an opaque plastic such as ABS resin is used.

The cable protector according to the embodiment of the present invention is configured as described above, but may have a structure in which a cable cover is cut away instead of the transparent portion. When the cable protector is laid on the floor, the cable cover 2 has a semi-circular cross section, as long as a desk with a caster, a chair, and the like can pass over the laid cable. It may be of a shape.

The type of screw to be used, such as a normal screw and a screw hole, is determined in advance. A hole for positioning the tip of
A hole formed only when a screw is cut into the hole is penetrated to form a screw hole.

The screw holes 13 are formed at three places on the left, near the center and on the right in order to lay the pedestal 1 on a wall or a floor in a stable state. The purpose of the screw holes is to lay them on a wall or a floor while the pedestal is stabilized, and thus the number and positions of the screw holes are not limited. Therefore, screw holes may be formed at four corners of the pedestal. Furthermore, although a screw which is usually used has a thread, a screw without a thread may be used depending on the situation where the pedestal 1 is laid.

The magnet mounting portion 14 is a groove formed for mounting a magnet. Magnet 4 in this groove
Is attached, the pedestal 1 is laid on a steel wall or floor. Here, the magnet 4 is a plate-like magnet that is fitted into the formed groove.

Since the magnet mounting portion is intended to mount a magnet, it may be a hole formed for mounting a magnet. In this case, a button-shaped magnet that fits into the hole is attached instead of the plate-shaped magnet.

The magnet mounting portions 14 are formed at two places on the left and right sides so as to lay the pedestal 1 on a wall or a floor in a stable state. Since the magnet mounting portion is intended to be laid on a wall, a floor, or the like in a state where the pedestal is stabilized, the number of magnet mounting portions and the position where the magnet mounting portion is formed are not limited. Therefore, the magnet mounting portions may be formed at three places on the left side, near the center, and on the right side of the pedestal.
