Abstract:
1. A cable routing system comprising: a longitudinally-expanding body positionable within an IT rack having a frame and two or more rails coupled to the frame; a pair of mounting brackets positioned proximate each distal end of the longitudinal-expanding body and configured to directly engage the frame of the IT rack; a first cable routing tray and a second cable routing tray longitudinally affixed to the longitudinally-expanding body and configured to route cables longitudinally along at least a portion of the longitudinally-expanding body, wherein each cable routing tray includes a flat surface and at least one expanding panel along an edge of the flat surface parallel to the longitudinally-expanding body and perpendicular to the flat surface creating a U-shaped channel configured to support the cables on the flat surface of the respective cable routing tray; one or more vertical radiused supports including at least one vertically arced surface configured to define a minimum vertical bend radius for cables routed vertically and horizontally through the respective cable routing tray; and one or more loop assemblies for bundling cables, wherein the one or more loop assemblies are coupled to one or more horizontal radiused cable supports; wherein the longitudinally-expanding body includes a first portion affixed to the first cable routing tray and a second portion affixed to the second cable routing tray, wherein the first portion and the second portion of the longitudinally-expanding body are coupled at a locking assembly.
