Cable management assembly and guide member

1. A cable management assembly for guiding cable arranged in a tray, comprising:

a guide member having a mounting region shaped to receive a portion of a side of the tray to mount the guide member to the tray, the guide member having a contoured guiding surface forming at least part of an outer surface thereof, wherein when the guide member is mounted to the side of the tray, the contoured guiding surface defines at least one guide path for cable extending from an interior of the tray, over the contoured guiding surface and to an exterior of the tray; and

a cable manager member having a body with a mounting region shaped to fit around at least a portion of the contoured guide surface of the guide member to mount the cable manager member to the guide member, the cable manager member having an extension that extends away from the body and against which cable can be guided, wherein the cable manager member is adjustably mountable along a length of the guide member to position the extension adjacent the guide path.

2. The cable management assembly of claim 1 , wherein the guide member has a uniform cross-section in the longitudinal direction.

3. The cable management assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cable manager member has a uniform cross-section in the longitudinal direction.

4. The cable management assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting region of the cable manager member is resilient to allow the cable manager member to be deformed and then relaxed for mounting the cable manager member to the guide member.

5. The cable management assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the guide member and the cable manager member is extrudable in desired lengths from a plastic material.

6. The cable management assembly of claim 1 , wherein the cable manager member comprises at least one hook dimensioned to receive at least one length of the cable.

7. The cable management assembly of claim 1 , wherein the mounting region of the guide member comprises at least one leg shaped to contact a side of the tray when the guide member is mounted to the tray.

8. The cable management assembly of claim 1 , wherein the guide member is a first guide member, further comprising a second guide member and a junction member with first and second ends insertible in the first guide member and the second guide member, respectively, to join the first and second guide members together.

9. A guide member for guiding cable over a side of a cable tray, comprising:

a body having a longitudinal dimension, substantially parallel inner and outer surfaces extending longitudinally and a uniform cross-section over the longitudinal dimension,

wherein the uniform cross-section comprises:

a contoured guide surface defined over at least a portion of the outer surface;

an inwardly curved first end dimensioned to contact an interior side of the tray at a first height when the guide member is mounted to the tray;

a second end configured to be spaced away from an exterior side of the tray when the guide member is mounted to the tray, thereby defining an outer end of the contoured guide surface that is spaced outwardly from the exterior side of the tray at a second height above the first height;

a mounting region formed in the body between the first and second ends and on the inner surface opposite the contoured guide surface, the mounting region having a recess extending longitudinally and dimensioned to receive the tray; and

a leg extending tangentially away from a base of the recess, wherein the leg is configured to contact the exterior side of the tray when the guide member is mounted to the tray with the tray received in the recess.

10. The guide member of claim 9 , wherein the guide member is formed as single piece construction.

11. The guide member of claim 9 , wherein the leg is a first leg, further comprising a second leg extending parallel to and spaced apart from the first leg, and wherein the second leg is configured to contact the interior side of the tray when the guide member with the side of the tray received between the first leg and the second leg.

12. The guide member of claim 9 , wherein when viewing the uniform cross-section, the contoured guide surface has an inverted U shape configured to be centered over the side of the tray.

13. The guide member of claim 9 , wherein when viewing the uniform cross-section, the second end comprises a support section extending from the second end and connecting to the leg, thereby forming an enclosed area in the uniform cross-section.

14. The guide member of claim 9 , wherein the body is formed as a single piece by extrusion.

15. The guide member of claim 9 , wherein the guide member comprises a recess for receiving a junction member configured to join the guide member end-to-end with another guide member.
