Abstract
A removable rack pulley system is provided. The removable rack pulley system is detachably connected to a rack and is employed to adjust cables that are associated with equipment stored in shelves of the rack. The rack pulley system includes a cable-run assembly and a locking mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a pressure-actuated locking pin to adhere and release calipers that attach the rack pulley system to the rack. The cable-run assembly uses a multi-length shaft that is integrally connected to the locking mechanism. The multi-length shaft is configured to receive multiple spools of cable to allow various types and sizes of cables to be simultaneously pulled through the rack pulley system while retaining separation of the cables during adjustment of cables. The spools are secured in the cable-run assembly by a holding wire that detachably connects to an end of the multi-length shaft.
