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 14):
A method of arranging or assembling a modular cable manager without the aid of tools, the method comprising:\n providing upper and lower cable manager units, each comprised of a pair of side cable guides interconnected via a separate midsection member, each side cable guide including a plurality of projections that extend forwardly from a support column; providing a splice plate having a beveled locking catch at each of first and second opposite ends thereof; 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 lower cable manager unit; maneuvering the splice plate so that the beveled locking catch at the first end deflects and then releases a lock tab, disposed at an interior of the first receiving area, into a locked position, thereby securing the first end of the splice plate to the lower cable manager unit; 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 upper cable manager unit; and maneuvering the splice plate so that the beveled locking catch at the second end deflects and then releases a lock tab, disposed at an interior of the second receiving area, into a locked position, thereby securing the second end of the splice plate to the upper cable manager unit; wherein, upon securement of the splice plate to each of the upper and lower cable manager units, the upper and lower cable manager units are secured in an end-to-end relationship.
