1. A cable positioning arrangement, comprising: a cable;two structures defining a gap, wherein each of the two structures is a part of a wall, a floor, or a ceiling of a building; anda flexible member having sufficient flexibility to be non-self-supporting, the flexible member provided in a roll, and unrolled to be elastically extended to span the gap between the two structures,wherein the flexible member has a length along a longitudinal direction, a width along a lateral direction, a depth along a depth direction, the length being greater than the width, and the width is greater than the depth, andthe flexible member including a hole along the depth direction through which the cable passes thereby positioning the cable relative to the two structures,wherein the flexible member includes a reinforcement element running along at least one of the length or the width of the flexible member. 2. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the flexible member is attached to at least one of the two structures by a fastener. 3. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the flexible member is attached to at least one of the two structures by an adhesive. 4. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 3, wherein the flexible member has an adhesive backing. 5. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 1, wherein one of the two structures comprises a hook; andthe flexible member is mounted on the hook. 6. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 1, wherein a hook is mounted on one of the two structures. 7. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the cable is of a first diameter,the hole is of a first size for receiving the cable, andthe flexible member includes another hole of a second size for receiving another cable of a second diameter. 8. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 7, wherein the hole is adjacent to the another hole, and the hole and the another hole are arranged across the width of the flexible member. 9. The cable positioning arrangement according to claim 1, wherein the flexible member comprises stiffening elements arranged to inhibit a reduction in the width of the flexible member when the flexible member is under tension. 10. A method of positioning a cable between two structures that are each a part of a wall, a floor, or a ceiling of a building, the method comprising the steps of: providing a roll of flexible band, the flexible band having a length along a longitudinal direction, a width along a lateral direction, and a depth along a depth direction, the length being greater than the width, and the width being greater than the depth, the flexible band having sufficient flexibility to be non-self-supporting;sizing a gap between the two structures;cutting across the width of the flexible band, and removing a piece of the flexible band from the roll;elastically extending the piece between the two structures such that the piece is under tension;passing the cable through a hole that is through the depth of the piece thereby positioning the cable relative to the two structures, and subsequent to the cable having been positioned; andcutting the piece of the flexible band at either side of the cable such that at least a part of the piece hangs down from at least one of the two structures; and making the hole in the flexible band after the step of elastically extending the piece between the two structures.
