A hinging cable management arm is disposed inside a rack behind a slidingly mounted computer. The arm folds and unfolds as the computer slides into and out of the rack. Cables from the computer are secured to the arm with cable ties. The arm includes two elongate members hingingly coupled to one another at one end. At the other end, one member is hingingly coupled to the rack and one member is hingingly coupled to a sliding computer mount. Each elongate member has a u-shaped profile. The hinged couplings are implemented using swaged pins. The cable ties are straps made with hook-and-loop fabric. The straps are made captive to the elongate members by anchoring them at a first slot and threading them through a second slot. They are wrapped over the computer cables and around the profile of the elongate members until the hook-and-loop material secures to itself.
