Sketching: How to fix the length of a combined curve ??

$

The situation:

I am trying to model a cable carrier.

Such cable carrier runs from one point to another, making a turn somewhere usually.

Such carrier has a limmited radius and a fixed length.

It is applied between two objects, that move in respect to each other.

 

So now:

I have drawn the carrier, first as a combined curve through the heart-line of the carrier.

Then I have sweeped the carrier outline along the curve.

The curve consist of straight lines and some arces, all tangent to each other.

 

What I want to do:

When I move one of the end points of the combined curve, I want the arcs in the curve follow the movement according to its constrains.

However, for this to work, I need a length constraint on the combined curve.

(like one can do on a spline in routing)

 

So how do I do that on a combined curve ??
