Patent ID: 7022916

Claim:
A cable guide, comprising: an arm member that defines a set of support portions and a set of hinges, the set of support portions and the set of hinges being integrated together to form a contiguous, unitary body which is configured to control movement of a set of cables; a first attachment subsystem to attach the arm member to an electronic cabinet frame; and a second attachment subsystem to attach the arm member to a chassis that slidably mounts to the electronic cabinet frame; wherein the set of support portions includes: a first lateral portion, a second lateral portion, and a middle portion which is (i) coupled to the first lateral portion by a first hinge and (ii) coupled to the second lateral portion by a second hinge, the first and second lateral portions being configured to pivot relative to the middle portion substantially within a common plane; wherein the contiguous, unitary body formed by the set of support portions and the set of hinges includes homogenous plastic material which provides resiliency and flexibility at the set of hinges to enable the support portions to pivot within the common plane; and wherein the second attachment subsystem includes a bracket which is configured to connect the arm member to the chassis, and wherein the bracket defines multiple cable slots to direct cable passage along multiple pathways.
