A cable manager includes a backbone assembly and at least one side wall extending from the backbone assembly. The at least one side wall optionally includes one or more cable finger units. The backbone assembly includes a spine member having an extruded construction. The spine member includes one or more channels extending substantially an entire length thereof to facilitate easy attachment, removal and/or repositioning of a structure relative to the spine member. The cable manager optionally includes an accessory rod, a half-spool assembly, a cable finger accessory, a strap/buckle accessory, and/or a door assembly having an interference-free hinge set.

A cable management device for managing cables of a trolling motor is provided. The cable management device can slide axially along a shaft of a trolling motor while being affixed to a portion of a cable of the trolling motor. A trolling motor including such a cable management device is provided.

Kinking of tubing can be prevented by use of a device comprising a first clamp, a second clamp, a first rod and a second rod. The first clamp and the second clamp carry the first rod and the second rod to form a frame, and the flexible tubing is secured to the first clamp and the second clamp. The device can be easily moved and adjusted by a user. The device can be attached to any location along the tubing and allow the tubing to bend past 90 degrees without kinking. Multiple devices can be used in series to route tubing in desired route without it kinking

A method and apparatus for installing pipes. The apparatus is a clamp for hanging or supporting pipe. The clamp comprises a base and a seat for receiving a pipe. The seat comprises at least two load bearing members adapted to receive the pipe. The clamp further comprises at least two side support members extending upward from the base at an oblique angle with respect to the base. The two support members each comprise an upwardly extending arm for receiving the pipe and wherein each upwardly extending arm forms an aperture for receiving a fastener to secure the pipe within the clamp. The clamp preferably comprises an integral, one-piece unit. Methods of making a pipe clamp and installing a pipe also are disclosed.

A method of adapting an electronic equipment structure for cable management, the method comprising: providing a cable manager having one or more cable finger units extending from a frame, the frame including at least one spine member having an extruded construction and one or more ledges that extend along a length thereof; providing an accessory rod assembly having a base member and an accessory rod, wherein the base member includes a front-facing socket, a rear-facing hook, and a rotatable knob having a threaded end received within a threaded portion at a side of the base member, and wherein the accessory rod has an extruded construction and a generally uniform, at least partially cylindrical, cross-sectional shape; positioning the rear-facing hook of the base member against one side of the one or more ledges of the at least one spine member; rotating the rotatable knob such that the threaded end is wound within the threaded portion of the base member and bears on an opposite side of the one or more ledges of the at least one spine member, thereby clamping the at least one spine member between the rear-facing hook and the rotatable knob; and positioning a proximal end of the accessory rod within the front-facing socket of the base member such that the accessory rod extends therefrom into a cable management space.

The present invention includes a clamping device (1) for connecting clamping parts (K), wherein, by movement of a single tensioning element (4), both at least one clamping section (3) can be rotated relative to a connecting joint (2), or two clamping sections (3) can be rotated relative to one another, and, by clamping at least one clamping jaw (5), the clamping parts (K) can be clamped in the at least one clamping section (3). Thus, by moving a single tensioning element (4), both clamping and fixing and releasing rotation of the at least one clamping section (3) is possible. This clamping device (1) is easy to handle, highly variable, and also takes into account the regulations of hygienic design, since no gaps, cavities or threads are exposed here in which dirt could accumulate.

An aluminum wire positioning device system for solar panel cabling and harness string cabling is provided that includes a support structure, a cable, and a wire positioning device. The wire positioning device includes a center leg, an attachment support leg, an attachment member configured to couple the wire positioning device to the solar panel frame or solar panel support structure at an attachment point, a saddle support leg, and a cable support saddle configured to support the at least one cable. The attachment member is arranged at an angle relative to the cable support saddle about the center leg, and a center-of-gravity of the wire positioning device is aligned with the attachment point, the center leg, and the saddle support leg.

Systems and apparatuses for routing resources may include an adapter coupled to a conduit, such as to an end of a conduit. The adapter may include a central passage extending along and concentrically disposed about a central longitudinal axis. The adapter may include a first end portion that includes a plurality of apertures that are circumferentially arranged about the central longitudinal axis and extend transversely relative to the central longitudinal axis; a tapered portion that tapers about and along the central longitudinal axis; and a first grooved portion disposed between the first end portion and the tapered portion.
