Abstract
A cable management system for a component mounted in a rack includes a cable management arm and a bracket. The cable management arm may include a rear link attached to the rack and a forward link coupled to the rear link. The bracket may be attached to the component. A hanger pin may provided on the forward link. The hanger pin may couple with the bracket in a slot in the bracket. The hanger pin may apply a force to the bracket such that the hanger pin carries a portion of the weight of the forward link. In some embodiments, the cable management arm includes a pivot pin. The pivot pin may couple with a second aperture in the bracket. The hanger pin may ride along a slot as the forward link is rotated about the pivot pin with respect to the bracket.
