Cable management system

Abstract

A cable management system includes a horizontal support assembly ( 1 ) and a cable holder assembly ( 5 ). The cable holder assembly ( 5 ) consists of a cable holder ( 3 ) with hooks ( 8 ) and a cable holder cover ( 4 ). Excess cable, wire, line or cord is wrapped around the cable holder ( 3 ) and the cable holder cover ( 4 ) is installed. The cable holder assembly ( 5 ) is then hooked onto the horizontal support assembly ( 1 ). The cable management system manages, organizes, stores, protects and support the cables along a horizontal plane. Any cable holder assembly can be removed without disturbing the other cables. The system includes end pads ( 25 ), suction cups ( 26 ), top brackets ( 33 ), side brackets ( 38 ) and hanger brackets ( 41 ). Combined with the adjustable-length horizontal support assembly ( 1 ), these connectors allow the system to be installed on a wide variety of vertical ( 44 ) and horizontal ( 45 ) surfaces.
