Abstract
A cable management clasp includes a clasp body extending between a connector end and a cable end configured to receive a cable array of cables through a cable entrance. The cable array exits the clasp body at the connector end through a cable exit. The clasp body holds the cables of the cable array in a parallel arrangement. The clasp body extends along mutually perpendicular longitudinal, lateral and elevation axes. The clasp body has a mandrel including a cable bend surface having a bend radius greater than a minimum bend radius of the cables. The cables transition around the cable bend surface between the cable entrance and the cable exit. The mandrel directs the cable array to rotate a roll angle about the elevation axis and the mandrel directs the cable array to rotate a yaw angle about the longitudinal axis.
