Abstract:
A cable manager includes one or more cable manager units. Each cable manager unit includes a pair of side cable guides, each comprised of a plurality of finger-like projections extending forwardly from a support column. At least one of the pair of support columns has a socket arranged at a side thereof. Each cable manager unit further includes a separate midsection member capable of insertion into the socket for interconnecting the pair of side cable guides.

Claim (Index 20):
A method of arranging or assembling a modular cable manager without the aid of tools, the method comprising:\n providing first, second, third and fourth side cable guides each comprised of a plurality of projections that extend forwardly from a support column; providing first and second midsection members each having a generally uniform cross-sectional shape; providing a splice plate having a locking catch at each of first and second opposite ends thereof; inserting a first end of the first midsection member into a socket of the support column of the first side cable guide and inserting a second end of the first midsection member, opposite the first end, into a socket of the support column of the second side cable guide, thereby forming a first cable manager unit; inserting a first end of the second midsection member into a socket of the support column of the third side cable guide and inserting a second end of the second midsection member, opposite the first end, into a socket of the support column of the fourth side cable guide, thereby forming a second cable manager unit; positioning the first end of the splice plate within a first receiving area disposed at a top of a selected one of the support columns of the first cable manager unit so that a locking catch at the first end engages a lock tab disposed at an interior of the first receiving area; and positioning the second end of the splice plate within a second receiving area disposed at a bottom of a selected one of the support columns of the second cable manager unit so that a locking catch at the second end engages a lock tab disposed at an interior of the second receiving area; wherein, upon engagement of the locking catches of the splice plate with the respective lock tabs, the first and second cable manager units are secured in an end-to-end relationship.
