Abstract:

Embodiments of the invention provide a variable angle fitting to route cables around a corner. The variable angle fitting includes a main body with a base plate, a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a first joint plate, and a second joint plate. The first joint plate can be rotatably coupled to the base plate by a first deformable hinge, and the second joint plate can be rotatably coupled to the base plate by a second deformable hinge. The variable angle fitting also includes a first bracket and a second bracket that is identical to the first bracket. The first bracket can be coupled to the first joint plate, and the second bracket can be coupled to the second joint plate. The first bracket can be positioned at a first angle with respect to the base plate, and the second bracket can be positioned at a second angle with respect to the base plate in order to route cables around the corner.
