A cable management apparatus for storing, dispensing and/or retracting an electrical cable, the apparatus comprising:

• a housing to enclose the electrical cable, the housing having a dispense opening defining a front end from which the electrical cable is dispensed and a rear end opposite the front end;
• a cable dispensing unit disposed proximal to the dispense opening, the cable dispensing unit being configured to dispense the electrical cable from the dispense opening in a first operation mode;
• and
• a movable biasing unit disposed within the housing to receive a portion of the electrical cable and to apply a biasing force on the portion of the electrical cable towards the rear end such that the electrical cable is tensioned between the cable dispensing unit and the movable biasing unit, the movable biasing unit being configured to move along at least a portion of a length of the housing to cooperatively dispense the electrical cable with the cable dispensing unit.
