Systems and methods for cable management in rack-mounted computing systems for housing electronics devices such as servers are disclosed. The cable management system generally includes a cable management housing to substantially enclose the cables therein. The housing defines openings to contain cables extending therethrough, each opening having a first and a second portion each configured to contain cables extending therethrough and a passage portion extending between the first and second opening portions and configured to allow passing of at least one cable between the first and second portions. The first and second portions may be disposed proximal and distal to the electronics devices to allow the cables extending therethrough to be in first or second cable position, respectively. While connected to the electronics devices, the cables extend through the first portion and are in a first cable position. While disconnected to the electronics devices, the cables extend through the second portion and are in a second cable position.
