The object of the invention relates to a system

30 of wiring conduction for the organization of the cables of connection of electrical, telephone or other devices, with respect to the connection straps with the corresponding installations.

35 The system comprises a module (1) formed by a

profile (2) that longitudinally determines channels

(3) parallel, in one of which channels (3) the connection sockets (4) of the cables from the application apparatus are arranged, while

5 in another channel (3) there is a front cover (5) that has a distribution of cable openings.

At the ends of the profile (2) respective covers (6) are incorporated which have openings in

10 correspondence with the channels (3) of said profile (2), with respect to said openings shutters (7) or cable glands (8) on which the coupling of a tubular cable conduction structure (9) is susceptible .

The tubular structure (9) is composed of a succession of cable glands (la) as vertebrae, which have a conformation (11) that has a prominent shape on the one hand and on the other

20 side a hole, so that said grommets (10) as vertebrae are coupled with each other, successively, by fitting between the respective conformations (11), allowing to form a tubular structure (9) of any dimension.

25 The coupling couplings between the cable glands (10), by means of the engagement between the respective conformations (11), further determines a ball joint between said cable glands (10),

30 so that the tubular structure (9) composed with them can be curved allowing its adaptation to any longitudinal path.
