Abstract: A telecommunications cable management system includes a planar base element including a planar top surface and side edges. Side elements are mounted with a mating arrangement to the base element. The side elements may include one or more of the following: upstanding wall portions, side exits extending horizontally, and downspouts. The base elements and the upstanding wall portions may have a continuous cross-section, and can be cut to the desired length for the cable management system. The downspout and side exit elements may also include multiple components wherein a central section of each can be cut to the desired width.

Abstract: A telescoping cable trough section is provided including first and second U-shaped trough sections which are slideably received with each other. One trough section includes slots, and the other includes flanges received in the slots for mating the two trough sections together to form the telescoping cable trough section.

Abstract: A low profile cable exit trough including an arch-wall with a sidewall portion. A projecting member extends from a concave surface of the arch-wall and is spaced from the sidewall portion to receive a top end of an upstanding side of a lateral trough therebetween. The arch-wall passes through the plane occupied by the upstanding side of the lateral trough at a significant angle, i.e. greater than or equal to 15 degrees, in order to allow for a lower profile above the lateral trough.

Abstract: A coupling and assembly for a cable routing system, the system having trough members with flanged ends. The coupling includes a U-shaped rib having a rail on an exterior surface of the rib. The coupling also includes a pivoting clamp pivotally coupled to the rib near a first end of the clamp so that the clamp may be pivoted between an open and a closed position. The clamp has a contoured clamping surface which is contoured to retain the flanged ends of adjacent troughs against the rail and the external surface of the rib when the pivoting clamp is in the closed position. The clamp also includes retention means which cooperate with retention means on the rib to releasably retain the clamp in its closed position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a vibration damped spacer articles having good force (torque and/or pressure and/or stress) retention, and disk drives having a damped spacer article and a rotatable storage article inserted therein.

Abstract: A modular cable management trough system and method of assembly. Cable management trough includes a trough body having first and second terminal ends, first and second upright walls extending between the first and second terminal ends, and a base wall between the first and second upright walls, extending between the first and second terminal ends. The first and second upright walls and the base wall define a generally U-shaped trough having an open top and a trough interior for receiving at least one telecommunications cable. The trough body defines a receiving channel at the first end of the trough body. The channel has upright portions along the first and second upright walls and a base portion along the base wall. The channel may slidably receive a flanged end of an adjacent trough section in order to couple the adjacent trough section to modular trough section.
