## Abstract

Example implementations relating to a cable management system are disclosed herein that may be utilized, in whole or in part, in or with a telescoping assembly. Briefly, a cable assembly may comprise a cable body and a plurality of segments defined via one or more stoppers fixedly disposed on the cable body. The cable assembly may be routed through inner and outer sections of the telescoping assembly and may be retained via cable support members arranged within the sections such that a particular predetermined segment of the plurality of segments is bendable during telescoping movements, such as in a controlled manner.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cable management system for use in a telescoping assembly of a type capable of telescoping movements via raising or lowering an inner section about a vertical axis, the telescoping assembly comprising:
an outer section and the inner section mounted in the outer section for the telescoping movements, the outer and the inner sections having respective proximal and distal ends, the proximal end of the inner section being received in the distal end of the outer section; and
a cable assembly routed through the outer and the inner sections, the cable assembly comprising a cable body and a plurality of segments having respective lengths at least partially defined via one or more stoppers fixedly disposed on the cable body, the cable assembly being retained via a plurality of cable support members arranged within the telescoping assembly such that a particular predetermined segment of the plurality of segments is bent during the telescoping movements in a controlled manner.

### Claim 2

A cable assembly for use with a telescoping assembly, the cable assembly comprising:
a flexible cable body; and
one or more stoppers fixedly disposed on the flexible cable body at one or more predetermined locations and adapted to cooperate with one or more cable support members of the telescoping assembly so as to facilitate bending of a portion of the flexible cable body in a controlled manner.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The cable assembly of claim 2, wherein the cable assembly comprises a non-load-bearing cable assembly connectable to one or more sources of an electrical signal.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The cable assembly of claim 3, wherein the one or more stoppers comprises a transverse dimension larger than a transverse dimension of the flexible cable body.
