Abstract: This invention relates to a cable management and contact monitoring system. This system allows a user to quickly, easily and neatly store the conductive cables of various devices such as computers, fetal monitors, defibrilators, heart monitors and therapeutic electrical stimulation machines in a clinical setting and aids in detecting and troubleshooting connection problems which may occur with these devices. The system is comprised of a spring powered cable retraction device with a manual or automatic stop mechanism, a slip ring connector, contact sensors and an indicator light and/or audible signal circuit.
