1. A stackable spool cable manager assembly for mounting on a surface manufactured from a ferrous material, comprising:
a plurality of like cable manager spools, each of the cable manager spools comprising:
a center portion comprising an outer surface, a top surface and a bottom surface opposite the top surface and a locking mechanism comprising a first part on the top surface and a second part in a bottom surface;
a support arm extending away from the center portion and comprising a cable support surface and an end stop attached to an outer end of the cable support surface;

a magnet;
wherein the center portion comprises a cylindrical outer surface, a flat top surface and a flat bottom surface in parallel to the top surface;
wherein the first part comprises a plurality of L shaped tabs extending from the too surface and spaced along a first path concentric with the cylindrical outer surface;
wherein the second part comprises a plurality of tab receiving slots in the bottom surface and spaced along a second path concentric with the cylindrical outer surface and in parallel to the first path;
wherein a lower one of the cable manager spools is secured to an adjacent upper one of the cable manager spools by inserting each of the L shaped labs of the lower cable manager spool into a respective one of the tab receiving slots of the upper cable manager spool and rotating the lower cable manager spool relative to the upper cable manager spool and such that each of the L shaped tabs of the lower cable manager spool is received into a respective one of the tab receiving slots of the upper cable manager spool and the bottom surface of the upper cable management spool is gripped by each of the L-shaped tabs;
wherein the support arm of each of the cable manager spools is positioned such that on securing of the lower cable manager spools to the upper cable manager spools, a support arm of the lower cable manager spools is offset from a support arm of the upper cable manager spool; and
wherein the magnet is positioned in a bottom of a bottom one of the plurality of cable manager spools and such that when positioned on the surface manufactured from the ferrous material, the magnet secures the plurality of like cable manager spools to the surface manufactured from the ferrous material.
