Abstract
A cable management device is disclosed. The cable management device includes a first component and a second component, each component having a spooling portion to receive a cable, a flange extending from the spooling portion to maintain the cable on the spooling portion, and a coupling feature operable to facilitate coupling of the first component and the second component. The first component and the second component are configured to interface with one another such that the respective spooling portions mate to form a spool for the cable.
Claims37
A cable management device, comprising:
- a first component and a second component, each component having a spooling portion to receive a cable,
- a flange extending from the spooling portion to maintain the cable on the spooling portion, and
- a coupling feature operable to facilitate coupling of the first component and the second component,
- wherein the first component and the second component are configured to interface with one another such that the respective spooling portions mate to form a spool for the cable.
A component of a cable management device, comprising:
- a spooling portion to receive a cable;
- a flange extending from the spooling portion to maintain the cable on the spooling portion;
- and
- a coupling feature operable to facilitate mating with a second cable management device component to form a cable management device.
A cable management device, comprising:
- two mating cable management device components coupled to one another, each component having a spooling portion to receive a cable,
- wherein at least one of the cable management device components includes a flange on an outer side of the component to maintain the cable on the spooling portion.
A cable management system, comprising:
- a support structure;
- and
- a plurality of cable management devices mounted to the support structure, wherein the plurality of cable management devices are positioned and oriented relative to one another to provide a customized cable support profile.
A method for facilitating cable management, comprising:
- providing a plurality of cable management device components, each component having
- a spooling portion to receive a cable, and
- a flange extending from the spooling portion to maintain the cable on the spooling portion;
- and
- facilitating formation of a cable management device from two of the plurality of cable management device components, wherein two of the components are coupled to one another such that the respective spooling portions mate to form a spool for the cable.
