A structured cabling system includes a plurality of data cables ( 6 A- 6 F), one end of each cable being secured to a jack of a multiple jack assembly ( 1 ) and the other end of each cable being secured to an individual jack ( 9 A- 9 F) located within a protective enclosure ( 11 ). The individual cables are mechanically secured to at least the protective enclosure ( 11 ) and/or a strain relief member ( 8 ) within the cable bundle is secured to the protective enclosure ( 11 ). The entire assembly may be pre-formed under factory conditions and delivered to an installation site. The multiple jack assembly ( 1 ) may then be secured, preferably by snap-fitting, to a rack assembly and the protective enclosure ( 10 ) may be used to draw the entire cable length to the required position. Once the cable is in position the protective enclosure ( 10 ) is discarded and the jack secured to their final use positions. In an alternative embodiment the protective enclosure forms a housing for jacks ( 9 A- 9 F) in their final use position and may, for example, be snap-fitted to a floor box for this purpose.
