Abstract
A cable routing system facilitating interconnection between a computer system and a chassis that may be extended and retracted with respect to the computer system along at least one support member is provided. The system includes a folding arm assembly supported by the at least one support member such that the folding arm assembly is moveable between a retracted position when the chassis is retracted with respect to the computer system and an extended position when the chassis is extended with respect to the computer system. The folding arm assembly defines at least one channel for routing a cable between the chassis and the computer system. The system also includes a strain relief supported by the at least one support member and positioned between the folding arm assembly and a termination point of the cable such that the strain relief substantially stabilizes the cable at the termination point.
