Cable management apparatus and method for managing cables of an electronic apparatus

An electronic apparatus comprising:

• a rack;
• a pair of slide rails separated from each other with a predetermined distance therebetween and fixed to the rack;
• a rack mount apparatus disposed between the slide rails and slidably connected to the slide rails;
• a first hinge member fixed to one of the rack mount apparatus, the rack and the slide rails that rotates around a first hinge shaft;
• a coupling member separably fixed to the first hinge member that includes a second hinge shaft parallel to the first hinge shaft disposed at a position apart from the first hinge shaft;
• a second hinge member fixed to one of the rack mount apparatus, and the rack and the slide rails except the first hinge member fixed to that rotates around a third hinge shaft parallel to the first hinge shaft, the second hinge member including a fourth hinge shaft parallel to the first hinge shaft disposed at a position apart from the third hinge shaft;
• and
• a middle connecting member connected to the second hinge shaft at a first connecting edge and the fourth hinge shaft at a second connecting edge.

A method of holding a cable, comprising:

• supporting a first hinge member rotatably about a first hinge shaft;
• disposing a second hinge shaft parallel to the first hinge shaft and apart from the first hinge shaft;
• providing a coupling member including the second hinge shaft;
• fixing the coupling member separably to the first hinge member;
• disposing a fourth hinge shaft parallel to the first hinge shaft and apart from a third hinge shaft;
• providing a second hinge member including the fourth hinge shaft;
• connecting the second hinge member rotatably to the third hinge shaft at a connecting edge;
• connecting a middle connecting member to the second hinge shaft at a first connecting edge;
• and
• connecting the middle connecting member to the fourth hinge shaft at a second connecting edge.
