Abstract

Top-mount cable management structures are provided to mount to an upper surface of an electronics rack, over a cable pass-through in the upper surface. The cable management structure includes a base structure to mount to the upper surface of the rack, and reside over the cable pass-through. The base structure includes a sidewall with at least one cable opening to allow one or more cables which pass-through the cable pass-through to also pass-through the sidewall of the base structure. A cover structure is provided mounted to the base structure. The base and cover structures together define a substantially enclosed housing disposed over the cable pass-through when the cable management structure is operatively positioned over the upper surface of the electronics rack and the one or more cables pass-through the at least one cable opening in the sidewall of the base structure.
