  • Patent number: 6809266
    Abstract: A cable organizer for ease of managing cables includes a holding sleeve and a cable guide. The holding sleeve is shaped as an elongated tube with a first opening and a second opening. A receiving slit nonlinearly extends from the first opening to the second opening along the holding sleeve. The cable guider is composed of a pair of hinged opposing shells to form a conduit with an inlet and outlet through which the cables are so surrounding field in therein. When the cable organizer is in use, the cable guider slide along with the holding sleeve to widen the receiving slit in order to allow the cables being placed into the holding sleeve. Thereafter, the receiving slit returns to its original position and holds the cables therein, thereby achieving organization of cables.
