Abstract
A cable management system includes a cap that cooperates with a housing to enclose a connection between a first cable and a second cable. The cap defines a first port and a second port through which cables extend into the housing. A base is to be coupled to the cap. The base includes a first clamp that protrudes from a surface of the base and maintains an alignment of a portion of the first cable with the first port. The base also includes a base interlock portion. A first cable guide, separate from the base, is to be installed on the cap to maintain an alignment of a portion of the second cable. The first cable guide includes a second clamp, and a first cable guide interlock portion that cooperates with the base interlock portion to interfere with separation of the first cable guide from the base.
