CABLE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS
Cable-management systems can hold a speaker device and can hold at least a portion of an electrical cable of the speaker device. In some embodiments, a cable-management system includes a housing having an upper portion and a lower portion separated by at least one upward-facing surface configured to vertically support the speaker device. The upward-facing surface can be a ledge or a wall that stretches all the way across a cylindrical cable management system. The upper portion can hold the speaker device while the lower portion holds the electrical cable. The electrical cable can be wrapped around a post of the housing such that the cable is hidden inside the cable management system.
