Abstract
A cable management system including a plurality of separably interconnectable clips. Each clip has a plurality of longitudinally extending cells, the cells forming cable channels having open longitudinal ends and an open bottom side, the cable channels arranged side-by-side in a one-dimensional array. Each cell is adapted and configured to receive and retain a corresponding cable of a slightly smaller diameter than that of its cable channel. The clips interconnect in a vertically stacked series to form a clip stack, the one-dimensional cable channel arrays of the clips in the clip stack thus being arrayed vertically to form a two-dimensional cable channel array. Cells without a clip connected below retain corresponding cables with a clearance to permit longitudinal sliding. Cables retained in a clip with a clip connected below are clamped between the cells that retain them and impinging contact regions of a top side of the below clip.
