Cables are organized such that individual cables or groups of cable may be associated with specific electronic components within the electronics assembly. Cables or groups of cables associated with specific electronic components within the electronics assembly may be accessed individually while handling a large bundle of cables. In one embodiment of the present invention fiber optic cables are supported such that a minimum bend radius is maintained. Thus, in accordance with one specific aspect of the present invention, fiber optic cables may be supported and organized as part of an electronics assembly.
