Abstract

A cable management device includes a cable management channel having a cable rest slot for routing a cable into and out of the cable management channel and a mounting bracket coupled to the cable management channel for fastening the cable management channel to a surface, such as an equipment enclosure rail, and for moving the cable management channel and the cable between a first position and a second position. The cable management channel may be advantageously released from the mounting bracket for moving the cable management channel between the first position and the second position to service an area of the equipment enclosure normally covered by the cable management channel. Alternatively, the cable management channel may be rotated on the mounting bracket to move the cable management channel away from the area of the equipment enclosure normally covered by the cable management channel.
