Abstract: A cable management system includes track units whose tracks are engageable to each other at longitudinal ends to ease installation of the tracks to a wall surface as a chain of longitudinally aligned tracks. The system also includes an adjustable track unit whose longitudinal length can be varied, so that a desired length of longitudinally aligned track units can be obtained without cutting a track unit of the system. In addition, the system includes a cap attachable at an end of a track unit for strengthening the engagement between the cover and the track of the track unit.
