/Cable Slack Management Apparatus For Co-packaged Opto-electrical Devices
Abstract

A cable manager is provided including a base, a cable hub configured to rotate relative to the base, and a directional resistance element configured to allow rotation of the cable hub in a first direction and resist rotation of the cable hub in a second direction, that is opposite the first direction. The cable hub includes a cable slot configured to receive at least one cable, such that when the cable hub is rotated the at least one cable is wound about a periphery of the cable hub.
