Cable Management System

摘要

A cable management system (10) for retaining cables that is an improvement in the management of cables (14) or other long flexible articles, particularly when gathered for storage. The cable management system may allow a cable retaining when wrapped as a coil or in bundle form. It may include an element integrated with one or both ends of the cable, so that the cable is integrated with the cable management system and cannot be physically separated from the cable or cord or lost. The cable management system may utilize a malleable element (20) oriented along an end of the cable, such that the malleable element may be bent into a position in which it is wrapped around a cable coil (130) or bundle (30).
