Abstract
A system for managing cables is disclosed herein. A preferred aspect of the system comprises a flat panel monitor having a front surface, a rear surface, a left side surface and a right side surface. The system also comprises a plurality of downwardly facing cable portals coupled to the rear surface of the flat panel monitor and a stand coupled to the rear surface of the flat panel monitor, wherein the flat panel monitor is forwardly rotatable on said the on a horizontal axis; and a plurality of releasably connectable retaining member are coupled to the rear surface of the flat panel monitor.
Claims10
A method of managing cables of an electronic device comprising:
- providing an electronic device having a front surface and a rear surface, said rear surface having a plurality of downwardly facing cable portals;
- providing a support member rotatably coupled to said rear surface of said electronic device through a rotatable joining member;
- providing a plurality of releasably connectable retaining members coupled to said rear surface of said electronic device;
- providing a plurality of cables;
- and
- coupling at least one of said plurality of cables between said plurality of cable portals of said electronic device and said plurality of releasably connectable retaining members.
A method of managing cables comprising:
- providing a flat panel monitor assembly having a front surface and a right side surface, a left side surface, and a rear surface, said rear surface having a plurality of downwardly facing cable portals;
- providing a plurality of releasably connectable retaining members coupled to said rear surface of said flat panel monitor assembly;
- providing a plurality of cables;
- and
- coupling at least one of said plurality of cables between said plurality of cable portals of said flat panel monitor assembly and said plurality of releasably connectable retaining members.
A method of managing cables comprising:
- providing a flat panel monitor assembly having a front surface and a right side surface, a left side surface, and a rear surface, said rear surface having a plurality of downwardly facing cable portals;
- providing a support member rotatably coupled to said rear surface of said flat panel monitor assembly through a rotatable joining member;
- providing a releasably connectable retaining member coupled to said rear surface of said flat panel monitor assembly;
- providing a plurality of cables;
- and
- coupling at least one of said plurality of cables between said plurality of cable portals of said flat panel monitor assembly and said releasably connectable retaining member.
A method of managing a plurality of cables of an electronic device having a rear surface, the rear surface having a plurality of downwardly facing cable portals, the method comprising:
- coupling a releasably connectable retaining member to the rear surface;
- connecting one end of each of the plurality of cables to the downwardly facing cable portals;
- and,
- placing a portion of the plurality of cables on the releasably connectable retaining member.
