is preferably generally semi cylindrical in shape and has a generally semi cylindrical outer surface portion 16 and a generally flat or planar abutting surface portion 18 the outer surface portion 16 defines a plurality of grooves 20 for receiving individual cables of a bundled cable the grooves 20 are generally evenly spaced from one another by lands 22 and longitudinally extend from a first longitudinal end 24 to a second longitudinal end 26 of the first half component 12 portions of the outer surface 16 which do not define the grooves 20 form the lands 22 such that each of the lands separates adjacent grooves more specifically and as shown in the figures the first half component 12 defines four grooves 20 a 20 b 20 c 20 d and five lands 22 a 22 b 22 c 22 d 22 e the groove 20 a is disposed between the lands 22 a 22 b the groove 20 b is disposed between the lands 22 b 22 c the groove 20 c is disposed between the lands 22 c 22 d the groove 20 d is disposed between the lands 22 d 22 e although four grooves 20 are shown the first half component 12 can define a fewer or a greater number of grooves moreover the.
