  • Patent number: 10420248
    Abstract: An apparatus for protecting cables outside a server casing is between a cable managing assembly and a sliding bracket. The cable managing assembly is slidable on the bracket to allow manual operations to the server (in the working position) or can be in a nonworking position. The protecting apparatus includes locking member, latching member, and latching portion. An end of the locking member is rotatably mounted to a casing, the other end defines a locking pin. The latching member on the sliding bracket has a latching slope corresponding to the locking pin. In the working position, the latching portion and locking member can be separated, the locking member is thus released, and the sliding bracket is free to move. In the nonworking position, the latching portion resists the locking member and prevents rotation of the locking member and movement of the sliding bracket.
