Patent ID: 6972949

Claim:
A cable routing system facilitating interconnection between a computer system and a chassis that may be extended and retracted with respect to the computer system along at least one support member, said cable routing system comprising: a folding arm assembly supported by the at least one support member such that said folding arm assembly is moveable between a retracted position when the chassis is retracted with respect to the computer system and an extended position when the chassis is extended with respect to the computer system, said folding arm assembly defining at least one channel for routing a cable between the chassis and the computer system; a strain relief supported by the at least one support member and positioned between said folding arm assembly and a termination point of the cable such that said strain relief substantially stabilizes the cable at the termination point, wherein the at least one support member includes two rail systems; and a rail clip coupled to each of said two rail systems and configured for compression and expansion in at least one dimension thereof through actuation of a spring loaded mechanism included in said rail clip such that each of said rail clips is coupled to a respective one of said rail systems by engaging each of said spring loaded mechanisms with a respective aperture of each of said rail systems.
