         9 . The cable management system of  claim 1 , wherein said pliable elongated member is manufactured from a material selected from the group consisting of lead, tin, alloys, composite materials, shape memory metals, shape memory alloys, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         10 . The cable management system of  claim 8 , wherein said cover material includes characteristics selected from the group consisting of flexibility, pliable, resiliency, elasticity, durability, friction, tacky surface, insulation, water-resistance, light weight, heat-resistance, chemical inertness, oxidation resistance, ease of workability, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         11 . The cable management system of  claim 8 , wherein said cover material includes characteristic of a tacky surface to retain said pliable elongated member in its state of being wrapped said one or more times around said series of adjacent loops of the flexible cable without slippage. 
     
     
         12 . The cable management system of  claim 1 , wherein said pliable elongated member attached to the flexible cable is configured to take up the slack of the flexible cable not in use. 
     
     
         13 . A cable management system to retain a flexible cable, the system comprising:
 a clip, said clip configured to be removably affixed to the flexible cable;   a swivel joint affixed to said clip;   a pliable elongated member affixed to said swivel joint, wherein said pliable elongated member is configured to wrap one or more times around a central region of a series of adjacent loops of the flexible cable.   
     
     
         14 . The cable management system of  claim 13 , wherein said pliable elongated member is configured to wrap around a central region of said series of adjacent loops of the flexible cable. 
     
     
         15 . The cable management system of  claim 14 , wherein said series of adjacent loops of the flexible cable configured to be bunched together at said central region of said series of adjacent loops of the flexible cable. 
     
     
         16 . The cable management system of  claim 13 , wherein said pliable elongated member configured to releasably retain the flexible cable in an untangled manner. 
     
     
         17 . The cable management system of  claim 13 , wherein said pliable elongated member configured to accommodate various sizes of the flexible cable. 
     
     
         18 . The cable management system of  claim 13 , wherein said pliable elongated member configured to accommodate the flexible cable selected from the group consisting of cord, string, and rope. 
     
     
         19 . The cable management system of  claim 13 , wherein said pliable elongated member is affixed to one section of the flexible cable with a cover material selected from the group consisting of silicone, plastic, rubber, polymer, thermoplastic, insulated plastic, vinyl, polyvinyl, resin, layered materials, compositions, laminations, foam, heat shrink, film, tape, tape with peel and stick, and combinations thereof. 
     
     
         20 . The cable management system of  claim 13 , wherein said pliable elongated member is manufactured from a material selected from the group consisting of lead, tin, alloys, composite materials, shape memory metals, shape memory alloys, and combinations thereof.
