Abstract
An inexpensive, flexible cable management device is constructed from a thin sheet of flexible material by cutting slits or openings in the material configured to efficiently and compactly route cables within an electrical system. Information such as assembly instructions and wiring diagrams may be printed on the device, and adhesive may be applied to the device to ease installation. The cable management device may be bent to allow three-dimensional routing of cables and to act as a barrier between air flows.
