Abstract

Disclosed is a cable management device. The purpose of the present invention is to organize cords in an orderly manner, while providing convenient access to individual cables and preventing cables from entanglement. The device includes a plurality of housing members that are box-like in shape. In one embodiment, the housing members are color coded. The housing members each include a channel for receiving an electrical cord therein. Each channel extends through the length of the housing member so as to allow an electrical cord to be threaded therethrough. The cords are secured in the channel by way of a lid that is pivotally attached to the top of the housing member. The housing members are removably connected to each other via a connecting member that comprises a connecting member, thereby allowing a user to utilize as many housing members as necessary.
