A cable raceway for routing cables to electronic equipment, the raceway comprising:

• a trough having a base member and two side members, wherein at least one of the side members includes primary and secondary longitudinal portions, wherein the primary and secondary longitudinal portions are planar in form, wherein the primary and secondary longitudinal portions are generally parallel to each other, wherein each longitudinal portion includes a proximate edge and a distal edge, wherein the primary longitudinal portion is connected along its proximate edge to the base member, and wherein the secondary longitudinal portion is disposed along the distal edge of, and inwardly offset from, the primary longitudinal portion;
• and
• a cable guide, including a plurality of projections, disposed along the distal edge of the secondary longitudinal portion and extending in a direction generally perpendicular to the base member of the trough.

A cable raceway for routing cables to electronic equipment, the raceway comprising:

• a trough having a base member and two side members, wherein each of the side members includes primary and secondary longitudinal portions, wherein each respective longitudinal portion includes a proximate edge and a distal edge, wherein the primary longitudinal portion of each side member is connected along its proximate edge to the base member, wherein the secondary longitudinal portion of each side member is disposed along the distal edge of, and inwardly offset from, the respective primary longitudinal portion, and wherein the primary longitudinal portions of the side members define a maximum width of the cable raceway;
• and
• at least two cable guides, each including a plurality of projections, wherein at least one cable guide is disposed along the distal edge of the secondary longitudinal portion of each side member and extends in a direction generally perpendicular to the base member of the trough, wherein the width defined by the outermost surfaces of the cable guides is less than the maximum width of the cable raceway.

A cable raceway for routing cables to electronic equipment, the raceway comprising:

• a channel assembly having a trough and a plurality of projections extending therefrom, the projections for guiding cables laterally from a side of the trough, wherein each projection has a distal end;
• and
• a cover assembly having a cover and a plurality of hinge supports, wherein the cover is disposed at the distal ends of the projections, wherein the structure of each hinge support is reinforced relative to the structure of the projections to support the weight of the cover, and wherein each hinge support is disposed adjacent to at least two of the plurality of projections.

A cable raceway for routing cables to electronic equipment, the raceway comprising:

• a double-channel assembly having at least on e base member and at least one pair of side members, forming two separate back-to-back channels, and a plurality of projections extending from the side members for guiding cables laterally from a side of the double-channel assembly;
• and
• a pair of cover assemblies, each having a cover having at least two lateral edges and at least one hinge disposed along each lateral edge, wherein the cover may be hinged open about the hinges along either lateral edge of the cover.
