A cable extends through a guide housing and a withdrawal unit configured such that the cable is connected to the mobile device. The guide housing and the withdrawal unit are coupled to the upper and lower portions of the table. A guide unit is rotatably disposed within the guide housing. The guide unit rotates along with rotation of the cable in the direction in which the cable rotates, thereby preventing the cable from being twisted or cut. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A cable arranging assembly comprising: a body (10) comprising an upper body (11) and a lower body (13) coupled to the upper body to define an accommodation space in the body; a winding unit (20) comprising a winding member (27) disposed in the accommodation space (131) to wind a cable (15), an upper cover (21) disposed over the winding member, and a lower disposed under the winding member, the lower cover (23) being coupled to the upper cover; and a connector unit (30) comprising a first earth part (31) connected to a main cable (17) disposed outside of the body (10) and a second earth part (33) connected to the cable (15), wherein the upper body (11) has a withdrawal/retraction hole and an earth through-hole in outer surfaces thereof, the cable (15) protruding outward from the body (10) through the withdrawal/retraction hole, and a first earth part provided on the connector unit protruding outward from the body through the earth through-hole, wherein the lower body (13) has an earth-fixing part in an outer surface thereof, the first earth part protruding through the first earth (31) through-hole being fixed by the earth-fixing part to be connected to the main cable (17), and wherein the second earth part (33) is provided on an earth connecting portion of the lower cover (23) to be connected to an earth terminal of the cable. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 1, wherein the conductor unit (30) comprising a flexible conductor formed as a flexible printed circuit board, wherein one end of the flexible printed circuit board is connected to the cable (15) and the other end of the flexible printed circuit board is connected to the main cable (17). ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 1, wherein the winding unit (20) further comprises an elastic member (25) formed as a leaf spring imparting elasticity to the winding member (27), wherein the winding member (27) comprises a receptacle (273) accommodating the elastic member (25) and a winding protrusion (271) protruding upward along circumferences of the receptacle (273), wherein the receptacle (273) has a through-hole (273A) in a central portion thereof, through which a center protrusion (135) protruding from a central portion of the lower body (13) extends, and wherein the elastic member (25) comprises a first fixing portion (251) coupled to a coupling recess (271A) formed on the winding protrusion (271) and a second fixing portion (253) extending through the through-hole (273A) to be coupled to a fixing recess (135A) of the center protrusion (135). ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 1, wherein the body (10) comprises a fixing means (40) for fixing withdrawal and retraction of the cable, the fixing means (40) comprising: a fixing ball (47); a movement path (41) along which the fixing ball (47) moves; and a fixing path (43) provided on the movement path (41), such that the fixing ball (47) is fixed on the fixing path (43), wherein the movement path (41) comprises: a winding path (411) along which the fixing ball (47) moves when the cable (15) is wound; an unwinding path (413) along which the fixing ball (47) moves when the cable (15) is unwound; and a connecting path (415) connecting the winding path (411) and the unwinding path (413). ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 4, wherein anti-movement stepped portions (45) are provided at boundaries between the winding path (411), the unwinding path (413), and the fixing path (43). ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 2, wherein the body (10) comprises a fixing means (40) for fixing withdrawal and retraction of the cable, the fixing means (40) comprising: a fixing ball (47); a movement path (41) along which the fixing ball (47) moves; and a fixing path (43) provided on the movement path (41), such that the fixing ball (47) is fixed on the fixing path (43), wherein the movement path (41) comprises: a winding path (411) along which the fixing ball (47) moves when the cable (15) is wound; an unwinding path (413) along which the fixing ball (47) moves when the cable (15) is unwound; and a connecting path (415) connecting the winding path (411) and the unwinding path (413). ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 6, wherein anti-movement stepped portions (45) are provided at boundaries between the winding path (411), the unwinding path (413), and the fixing path (43). ### Claim 8 (depends on 3) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 3, wherein the body (10) comprises a fixing means (40) for fixing withdrawal and retraction of the cable, the fixing means (40) comprising: a fixing ball (47); a movement path (41) along which the fixing ball (47) moves; and a fixing path (43) provided on the movement path (41), such that the fixing ball (47) is fixed on the fixing path (43), wherein the movement path (41) comprises: a winding path (411) along which the fixing ball (47) moves when the cable (15) is wound; an unwinding path (413) along which the fixing ball (47) moves when the cable (15) is unwound; and a connecting path (415) connecting the winding path (411) and the unwinding path (413). ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The cable arranging assembly according to claim 8, wherein anti-movement stepped portions (45) are provided at boundaries between the winding path (411), the unwinding path (413), and the fixing path (43).
