Abstract
A cable management assembly includes a first arm assembly pivotally connected with a second arm assembly. Each arm assembly includes a slide lock which may tool-lessly couple to a slide lock receptacle attached to a rack slide chassis member or a rack slide stationary member, allowing the cable management assembly to be chassis independent and reversible. The arm assemblies include basket trays with movable covers that facilitate the storage of cabling.
