1. A cable management apparatus for use in mounting an electronic device to a display, the apparatus comprising:

  • a puck assembly adapted to receive the electronic device;

    a base assembly; and

    a tether assembly adapted to connect the puck assembly with the base assembly, wherein the tether assembly comprises a portion that is adapted to transmit an optical signal;

    wherein the puck assembly is adapted to be moveable between (1) a rest position in which (i) the puck assembly is in engagement with the base assembly and (ii) the puck assembly and the base assembly are connected to the tether assembly, and (2) a lift position in which (i) the puck assembly is disengaged from the base assembly and (ii) the puck assembly and the base assembly are connected to the tether assembly;

    wherein the base assembly further comprises (1) base assembly circuitry configured to receive power from a power source, and (2) a base assembly electrical contact connected to the base assembly circuitry;

    wherein the puck assembly comprises (1) a puck assembly electrical contact, (2) a power storage device, and (3) puck assembly circuitry connected to the puck assembly electrical contact and the power storage device;

    wherein the base assembly contact and the puck assembly contact are adapted to contact each other when the puck assembly is in the rest position to form an electrical connection between the puck assembly circuitry and the base assembly circuitry;

    wherein the puck assembly circuitry is configured to, when the puck assembly is in the rest position, draw power from the power source through the electrical connection and provide the drawn power to the power storage device to charge the power storage device; and

    wherein the base assembly contact and the puck assembly contact are adapted to lose contact with each other when the puck assembly is in the lift position to thereby break the electrical connection.
