Abstract
A cord management device comprises a body (110) having a first end (111), a second end (112), a perimeter (113), and an interior (114) bounded by the perimeter. A cord (210) that is to be managed may be wrapped around the body of the cord management device in such a way as to control a length of a portion (211, 212) of the cord that is able to hang freely, thus protecting the entire cord. The cord management device further comprises an aperture (120) spaced apart from the perimeter and extending through the interior of the body, and still further comprises a recess (140) in the interior of the body capable of receiving and storing an object (410) attached to the cord. A cord management system including the cord management device is also disclosed.
