Abstract
Techniques for cable management are disclosed. In some embodiments, an apparatus for managing cables comprises a base for securing the apparatus to another object and a finger for supporting a plurality of cables. The finger and the base are coupled through an interlocking mechanism providing a fixed arrangement and a pivoting arrangement such that pivoting is prevented between the finger and the base in the fixed arrangement and enabled between the finger and the base in the pivoting arrangement. The pivoting arrangement allows for support to be maintained for the plurality of cables while the finger is pivoted in relation to the base. The apparatus may further comprise a detent that provides resistance to prevent unintentional transitions between the fixed arrangement and the pivoting arrangement.
