Abstract
A system includes a chassis having an interior containing at least one component secured to a base. A cable storage module is attached to the chassis and has a frame defining an interior space in which a cable is stored. The cable has a first end extending out of the frame for connection to the component and a second end extending out of the frame for connection to a device exterior to the chassis.
Claims18
A system comprising:
- a chassis having an interior containing a first component and a second component secured to a base;
- and
- a first cable storage module attached to the chassis and having a frame defining an interior space in which a first cable is stored, the first cable having a first end extending out of the frame for connection to the first component and a second end extending from the frame for connection to a first device exterior to the chassis;
- and
- a second cable storage module disposed on top of and interconnected with the first cable storage module in a stacked arrangement, the second storage module having a frame defining an interior space in which a second cable is stored, the second cable having a first end extending out of the frame of the second cable storage module for connection to a second component within the interior of the chassis and a second end extending out of the frame of the second cable storage module for connection to a second device exterior to the chassis.

A method of connecting components comprising:
- attaching a first cable storage module with respect to a chassis, the chassis having an interior containing a first component secured to a base, the first cable storage module including a frame defining an interior space in which a first cable is stored, the first cable having first and second ends;
- coupling a second cable storage module with the first storage cable module, the second cable storage module disposed on top of the first cable storage module in a stacked arrangement, and the second storage module including a frame defining an interior space in which a second cable is stored, the second cable having first and second ends,
- connecting the first end of the first cable with the first component while the first component is attached to the base;
- connecting the first end of the second cable with the second component while the second component is attached to the base;
- connecting the second end of the first cable with a first device exterior to the chassis;
- and
- connecting the second end of the second cable with a second device exterior to the chassis.

A system comprising:
- a chassis having an interior containing a first component and a second component secured to a base;
- and
- a first cable storage module positioned within the interior and having a frame defining an interior space in which a first cable is stored, the first cable having a first end extending out of the frame for connection to the first component and a second end extending out of the frame for connection to a first device exterior to the chassis;
- and
- a second cable storage module disposed on and interconnected with the first cable storage module in a stacked arrangement, the second storage module having a frame defining an interior space in which a second cable is stored, the second cable having a first end extending out of the frame of the second cable storage module for connection to a second component and a second end extending out of the frame of the second cable storage module for connection to a second device exterior to the chassis, wherein
- a length of the first end of the first cable extending out of the frame of the first cable storage module is adjustable and a length of the second end of the first cable extending out of the frame of the first cable storage module is adjustable,
- a length of the first end of the second cable extending out of the frame of the second cable storage module is adjustable and a length of the second end of the second cable extending out of the frame of the second cable storage module is adjustable,
- the first component is connectable to the base prior to connection of the first end of the first cable to the first component, and
- the second component being connectable to the base prior to connection of the first end of the second cable to the second component.
