Abstract
A cable organizer having a centerpiece, a first loop portion, and a second loop portion is provided. The first loop portion defines a first bore adapted to receive at least one cable therein. It also includes a first end that abuts a first side of the centerpiece to close the first bore. This first end is deflectable for radial insertion of the at least one cable winding within the first bore. The second loop portion defines a second bore for at least one cable winding. The second loop portion includes a second end that abuts a second side of the centerpiece to close the second bore. This second end is also deflectable for radial insertion of the at least one cable winding within the bore. The first and second sides of the centerpiece oppose each other. The centerpiece prevents torsional opening of the first and second bores.

A cable organizer comprising:
- a solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece having a first side, a second side, a first longitudinal end and a second longitudinal end;
- a first loop portion, the first loop portion defining a first bore, wherein the first bore is adapted to receive at least one cable winding therein, and wherein the first loop portion includes a first end that abuts the first side of the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece to close the first bore, the first end being deflectable for radial insertion of the at least one cable winding within the first bore;
- and
- a second loop portion, the second loop portion defining a second bore, wherein the second bore is adapted to receive at least one cable winding therein, and wherein the second loop portion includes a second end that abuts the second side of the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece to close the second bore, the second end being deflectable for radial insertion of the at least one cable winding within the second bore, wherein
- the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece has a thickness and a length, the thickness having a cross-section greater than a cross-section thickness of the first loop portion or the second loop portion, wherein the first side and the second side of the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece are on opposite sides of the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece and are separated from each other by the thickness of the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece, and wherein the first longitudinal end and the second longitudinal end are separated from each other by the length of the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece;
- the solid unapertured reinforced centerpiece prevents torsional opening of the first bore and the second bore;
- and
- a shape and dimension of the first bore and the second bore is the same thereby allowing for insertion of an equal number of cable windings into the first bore and the second bore.
