Cable trough with separate side elements

A telecommunications cable management system comprising:

• a base element including a planar top surface, and an opposite facing bottom surface, the base element including first and second ends, and first and second sides, the ends and the sides forming a perimeter of the base element;
• a plurality of side elements;
• a mating arrangement between the sides of the base element and the side elements;
• wherein at least one of the side elements includes an upstanding wall portion;
• wherein at least one of the side elements includes a side exit having a linear edge mounted with the mating arrangement to one of the sides of the base element, two opposed upstanding sidewall portions, and a horizontally extending center section, the sidewall portions and the center section extending from the linear edge;
• wherein the sidewall portions and the center section are separate elements of the side exit, and further comprising a mating arrangement between the sidewall portions and the center section.
