Line management devices, cable management devices and methods for guiding local distribution of utility lines

A method for guiding local distribution of a utility line, comprising:

• installing a line management device in relation to an object in a local environment, the line management device comprising a main body with a middle portion having a contoured surface extending between a first end and a second end, a first end portion abutting the first end of the middle portion and a second end portion abutting the second end of the middle portion;
• placing the utility line proximate to the contoured surface;
• pulling the utility line across the contoured surface;
• and
• spacing the utility line away from the object in the local environment and guiding the utility line away from the object.

A cable management device for guiding local distribution of an electrical cable, comprising:

• a main body with a central axis, the main body comprising:
• a middle portion intersecting the central axis and comprising a first end, a second end and a contoured surface extending between the first end and the second end, the contoured surface having a contour to direct the electrical cable in relation to an object in a local environment;
• a first end portion intersecting the central axis, abutting the first end of the middle portion and comprising a first exterior surface, the first exterior surface shaped to direct the electrical cable toward the middle portion and to obstruct the electrical cable from passing over the first end portion and outside the main body;
• and
• a second end portion intersecting the central axis, abutting the second end of the middle portion and comprising a second exterior surface, the second exterior surface shaped to direct the electrical cable toward the middle portion and to obstruct the electrical cable from passing over the second end portion and outside the main body;
• and
• one or more magnets embedded in one or more of the middle portion, the first end portion and the second end portion, the one or more magnets configured to secure the main body to the object in the local environment.
