Abstract
A connection arm couples to a cooling fan main body to enclose wires extending from the main body to an end of the connection arm that holds a plug of the wires in a position aligned with a circuit board cooling fan socket. Wires enclosed in the connection arm slip through a slot along the side of the connection arm and are protected from view by a cable cover disposed along the top surface of the cooling fan and connection arm.
