Abstract:
1. A composite cable management bracket formed from a set of modular bracket units comprising: one or more single-opening bracket units that respectively define, when mounted as part of the composite cable management bracket, a single cable management opening, wherein each of the one or more single-opening bracket units comprises a top end stepped formation and a bottom end stepped formation; and one or more multi-opening bracket units that include a pair of fingers projecting substantially perpendicularly away from a base formation to define, when mounted as part of the composite cable management bracket, two or more cable management openings, the one or more multi-opening bracket units further including at least one latch with a first end hingedly coupled to a distal end of at least one of the fingers and a second end that, when the latch is in a closed position, is in engagement with a finger of another bracket unit coupled to the one or more multi-opening bracket units, and wherein each of the one or more multi-opening bracket units comprises a top end formation and a bottom stepped end formation, wherein the bottom end stepped formations of the single-opening bracket units and the bottom end stepped formations of the multi-opening bracket units are substantially identical and comprise a niche and an associated step that define a define a first inner face, wherein the top end stepped formations of the single-opening bracket units and the top end stepped formations of the multi-opening bracket units are substantially identical and comprise a niche and an associated step that define a second inner face, wherein the niche of the top end stepped formations is complementary to the associated step in the bottom end stepped formations and the associated step of the top end stepped formations is complementary to the niches in the bottom end stepped formations enabling any pair of the single-opening bracket units and the multi-opening bracket units to be mountable end-to-end in series in interchangeable positions where the first inner face of the bottom end stepped formation is engaged with the second inner face of the top end stepped formation, and when any pair of the single-opening bracket units and the multi-opening bracket units are mounted end-to-end, a longitudinally extending series of segregated cable management openings is defined.
