Claim:
1. A cable management assembly, to be mounted to a pair of slide rail assemblies including a first slide rail assembly and a second slide rail assembly, the cable management assembly being mountable to a rack via the pair of slide rail assemblies, the first slide rail assembly including a first rail and a second rail longitudinally displaceable relative to the first rail, the cable management assembly comprising: a first cable management bracket adapted to be connected to the first rail of the first slide rail assembly; a second cable management bracket connected to the first cable management bracket and adapted to be connected to the second rail of the first slide rail assembly; a plurality of cable supporting features connected to the first cable management bracket and the second cable management bracket; a supporting base adapted to be connected to the second slide rail assembly; a supporting member having a first end terminating at a free second end, and a main body between the first and second ends, wherein the first end of the supporting member is pivotally connected to the supporting base such that the supporting member is rotatable relative to the supporting base and said supporting member is configured for supporting at least one of the first cable management bracket and the second cable management bracket; and an actuator connected to the supporting member adjacent the free second end and positioned upright with respect to the main body of the supporting member so that the actuator is positioned between the first cable management bracket and the second cable management bracket; wherein when the second rail of the first slide rail assembly is displaced relative to the first rail of the first slide rail assembly from a retracted position toward an extended position, the second cable management bracket displaces the first cable management bracket such that the first cable management bracket drives the actuator and thereby rotates the supporting member relative to the first end of the supporting member which is pivotally connected to the supporting base by an angle; and when the second rail of the first slide rail assembly is displaced relative to the first rail of the first slide rail assembly from the extended position toward the retracted position, the second cable management bracket drives the actuator and thereby rotates the supporting member relative to the first end of supporting member which is pivotally connected to the supporting base toward an initial position of the supporting member.
