Abstract
A cable management device is disclosed. The cable management device includes a first component and a second component, each component having a spooling portion to receive a cable, a flange extending from the spooling portion to maintain the cable on the spooling portion, and a coupling feature operable to facilitate coupling of the first component and the second component. The first component and the second component are configured to interface with one another such that the respective spooling portions mate to form a spool for the cable.

A cable management device, comprising:
- a first component and a second component, each component having
- a spooling portion to receive a cable,
- a flange extending from the spooling portion to maintain the cable on the spooling portion, and
- a coupling feature operable to facilitate coupling of the first component and the second component,
- wherein the first component and the second component are configured to interface with one another such that the respective spooling portions mate to form a spool for the cable, and
- wherein the cable management device further comprises a divider coupleable to at least one of the first component and the second component and configured to provide a physical barrier between spooling portions of the first component and the second component.

A cable management device comprising:
- a first component and a second component, each component comprising:
- a spooling portion to receive a cable;
- a flange extending from the spooling portion to maintain the cable on the spooling portion;
- and
- a coupling feature operable to facilitate coupling of the first component and the second component, wherein the coupling feature comprises a coupling protrusion and a coupling opening configured to receive the protrusion from the other of the first and second component,
- wherein the first component and the second component are configured to interface with one another such that the respective spooling portions mate to form a spool for the cable, and
- wherein the cable management device further comprises a spacer having a second spooling portion and at least one coupling feature operable to facilitate coupling the spacer to the first component and the second component, wherein the spacer is configured to interface with the first component and the second component such that the respective spooling portions mate to increase a width of the spool, wherein the at least one coupling feature of the spacer comprises a first coupling protrusion configured to be received in the coupling opening of the first component, a second coupling protrusion configured to be received in the coupling opening of the second component, a first coupling opening configured to receive the coupling protrusion of the first component, and a second coupling opening configured to receive the coupling protrusion of the second component.
