A fitting for a cable trough system, the fitting including a bottom wall and side walls extending from at least a first terminal end to a second terminal end and forming a trough therebetween, the side walls being curved in a longitudinal direction, and an end portion formed at each of the first and second terminal ends, the end portion including first and second guiding surfaces defining a space therebetween, and a spring member positioned in the space. The space is sized to receive a terminal end of a trough member of the cable trough system, and wherein the spring member is positioned to engage the terminal end of the trough member to couple the trough member to the fitting. Other cable routing devices can also be used.

1. A trumpet member of a cable trough system, the trumpet member comprising: a trumpet bottom wall and trumpet side walls extending from a first trumpet terminal end to a trumpeted second end;a first trumpet end portion formed at the first trumpet terminal end, the first trumpet end portion including first and second trumpet guiding surfaces defining a first trumpet space therebetween, and a first trumpet spring member positioned in the first trumpet space, wherein the first trumpet space is sized to receive a trough side wall of a first trough member, and wherein the first trumpet spring member is positioned to engage the trough side wall to couple the trumpet member to the first trough member; anda second trumpet end portion formed at the trumpeted second end, the second trumpet end portion including third and fourth trumpet guiding surfaces defining a second trumpet space therebetween, wherein a trough side wall of a second trough member is positioned in the second trumpet space to couple the trumpet member to the second trough member;wherein the first and second trumpet guiding surfaces extend in a first direction, and the third and fourth trumpet guiding surfaces extend in a second direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. 2. The trumpet member of claim 1, further comprising a second trumpet spring member positioned in the second trumpet space, wherein the second trumpet spring member is positioned to engage the trough side wall to couple the trumpet member to the second trough member. 3. The trumpet member of claim 1, further comprising opposing fingers coupled to the trumpet member to maintain cable within the trumpet member. 4. The trumpet member of claim 3, wherein each of the opposing fingers is curved, and the opposing fingers overlap to form a space therebetween. 5. The trumpet member of claim 1, wherein the trumpet member is used in a vertical trough portion of the cable trough system. 6. A cable trough system, comprising: a first trough member including a first trough side wall, the first trough member extending horizontally;a second trough member including a second trough side wall, the second trough side wall defining an aperture and extending vertically; anda trumpet member including: a trumpet bottom wall and trumpet side walls extending from a first trumpet terminal end to a trumpeted second end;a first trumpet end portion formed at the first trumpet terminal end, the first trumpet end portion including first and second trumpet guiding surfaces defining a first trumpet space therebetween, and a first trumpet spring member positioned in the first trumpet space, wherein the first trumpet space is sized to receive the first trough side wall of the first trough member, and wherein the first trumpet spring member is positioned to engage the first trough side wall to couple the trumpet member to the first trough member; anda second trumpet end portion formed at the trumpeted second end, the second trumpet end portion including third and fourth trumpet guiding surfaces defining a second trumpet space therebetween, wherein the trumpet member is sized to be received in the aperture in the second trough side wall of the second trough member so that the second trough side wall is positioned in the second trumpet space to couple the trumpet member to the second trough member, wherein the second trumpet end portion opens into the second trough member so that a cable pathway including a horizontal portion is formed through the first trough member into a second vertical portion of the cable pathway formed through the second trough member. 7. The cable trough system of claim 6, further comprising a second trumpet spring member positioned in the second trumpet space, wherein the second trumpet spring member is positioned to engage the second trough side wall to couple the trumpet member to the second trough member. 8. The cable trough system of claim 6, wherein the first and second trumpet guiding surfaces extend in a first direction, and the third and fourth trumpet guiding surfaces extend in a second direction, the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction. 9. The cable trough system of claim 6, further comprising opposing fingers coupled to the trumpet member to maintain cable within the trumpet member. 10. The cable trough system of claim 9, wherein each of the opposing fingers is curved, and the opposing fingers overlap to form a space therebetween.
