Cable management apparatus, system, and furniture structures

A one-piece cable management system comprising:

• a surface including a plurality of openings;
• and
• a plurality of one-piece cable management apparatuses inserted into at least two of the plurality of openings, each one-piece cable management apparatus including:
• a collar member, having a continuous outer periphery, a first end, and a second end;
• a flange, connected to the first end of the collar member and mated with the opening into which it is inserted;
• and
• a cable management structure extending from the second end of the collar member via a connection area wherein:
• the connection area of the cable management structure to the second end of the collar member defines a plane;
• and
• the cable management structure comprises a plurality of guide members, each having a connecting end connected to the collar member, and extending outward from the collar member in a direction approximately perpendicular to the plane, and wherein the cable management structure is configured to redirect at least two cables passing through the collar member via at least two separated apertures.

A furniture structure, comprising:

• a surface capable of supporting an entertainment device;
• at least one outwardly facing section, wherein the at least one outwardly facing section includes an opening and defines a plane;
• and
• a one-piece cable management apparatus disposed in the opening, the cable management apparatus comprising:
• a collar member having a front end and a rear end, wherein the collar member is positioned in the opening;
• a flange, connected to the front end of the collar member and mating with the opening;
• and
• a cable management structure extending from the rear end of the collar member wherein the cable management structure comprises a plurality of guide members, each having a connecting end connected to the rear end of the collar member, and extending away from the collar member in a direction perpendicular to the plane, wherein the cable management structure is configured to redirect at least two cables passing through the collar member via at least two separated apertures in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the plane, to a new direction which is substantially parallel to the plane.
