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, wherein the puck assembly comprises a power storage device, a first puck assembly electrical contact, and a second puck assembly electrical contact; and

    a base assembly adapted to receive power from a power source, wherein the base assembly comprises a first base assembly electrical contact and a second base assembly electrical contact, wherein the first and second base assembly electrical contacts are configured to provide a power interface with respect to the power from the power source;

    wherein the puck assembly is adapted to be moveable between a plurality of positions relative to the base assembly;

    wherein the positions include a rest position in which (1) the puck assembly rests on the base assembly, (2) the first puck assembly electrical contact contacts the first base assembly electrical contact to provide a conductive path between the first puck assembly electrical contact and the first base assembly electrical contact, (3) the second puck assembly electrical contact contacts the second base assembly electrical contact to provide a conductive path between the second puck assembly electrical contact and the second base assembly electrical contact, and (4) power from the power source is delivered to the power storage device via the conductive paths; and

    wherein the positions further include a lift position in which (1) the puck assembly does not rest on the base assembly, (2) the first and second puck assembly electrical contacts do not contact the first and second base assembly electrical contacts, (3) the conductive paths are broken, and (4) the puck assembly draws power from the power storage device.
