Convertible device hinge cable routing system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a display chassis that houses a display device;
• a base chassis that houses a processing system;
• a display cable coupled to each of the display device and the processing system;
• and
• a hinge that moveable couples the display chassis to the base chassis, wherein the hinge includes:
• a hinge chassis defining a hinge housing;
• a first shaft that extends through the hinge housing and into engagement with the display chassis, wherein the first shaft is configured to provide relative movement between the display chassis and the hinge;
• and
• a second shaft that extends through the hinge housing and into engagement with the base chassis, wherein the second shaft is configured to provide relative movement between the base chassis and the hinge;
• wherein the display cable is routed through the hinge housing such that the display cable extends past a first axis of rotation of the first shaft and a second axis of rotation of the second shaft in a hinge chassis housing volume that is defined between the hinge chassis and an imaginary plane that intersects each of the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation.

A method for providing a convertible laptop/tablet computing device, comprising:

• moveably coupling a first chassis portion to a second chassis portion using a hinge, wherein the hinge includes:
• a hinge chassis defining a hinge housing;
• a first shaft that extends through the hinge housing;
• and
• a second shaft that extends through the hinge housing;
• routing a cable between the first chassis portion and the second chassis portion through the hinge housing such that the cable extends past a first axis of rotation of the first shaft and a second axis of rotation of the second shaft in a hinge chassis housing volume that is defined between the hinge chassis and an imaginary plane that intersects each of the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation;
• moving the first chassis portion relative to the second chassis portion into a first orientation;
• and
• moving the first chassis portion relative to the second chassis portion into a second orientation.
