The third mounting device 42 is pivotally connected to the side portion 44b via the third pivot member X3.

As shown in fig. 3, the wire management device 20 further includes a second elastic member 46 disposed between the second member 28 and the second wire management arm 30 for providing elastic force to the second wire management arm 30. Here, the second elastic element 46 is taken as a return spring, and two ends of the second elastic element 46 are mounted on a first mounting portion M1 of the second member 28 and a second mounting portion M2 of the second wire arranging arm 30, but the implementation is not limited thereto.

As shown in fig. 4, the wire management arm (the first wire management arm 26 or the second wire management arm 30) of the wire management device 20 can be in a first predetermined position P1 relative to the member (the first member 24 or the second member 28). Herein, the second wire arranging arm 30 can be located at the first predetermined position P1 relative to the second member 28, so that the wire arranging device 20 has a first length L1. Preferably, the second wire management arm 30 is maintained at the first predetermined position P1 relative to the second member 28 by the second elastic member 46 providing an elastic force. It should be noted that the first wire management arm 26 and the first member 24 are not shown in fig. 4.

As shown in fig. 5, the wire management arm (the first wire management arm 26 or the second wire management arm 30) of the wire management device 20 can be in a second predetermined position P2 relative to the member (the first member 24 or the second member 28). Here, for example, the second wire management arm 30 can be located at the second predetermined position P2 relative to the second member 28, such that the wire management device 20 has a second length L2 longer than the first length L1. Wherein the second elastic member 46 is in a state of accumulating the elastic force. It should be noted that the first wire management arm 26 and the first member 24 are not shown in fig. 5.

As shown in fig. 6, the connecting assembly of the present embodiment includes a first slide rail assembly 48 and the wire management device 20. Preferably, a second slide assembly 50 is also included. The first slide assembly 48 and the second slide assembly 50 each include a first rail 52 and a second rail 54 that are movable relative to each other. In this embodiment, the first rail 52 can be mounted to a first column 56a and a second column 56b of a rack, and the second rail 54 carries the carrier 58 (e.g., an electronic device), such that the carrier 58 can move relative to the first rail 52 through the second rail 54. The second rail 54 is located at a retracted position R relative to the first rail 52.

FIG. 6 shows that the first wire organizing arm 26 can be mounted (e.g., removably coupled) to the second rail 54 of the first slide rail assembly 48 via the first mounting device 38; the second wire organizing arm 30 is mountable (e.g., detachably connectable) to the first rail 52 of the first slide assembly 48 via the second mounting device 40; and the at least one support member (the first support member 37a and the second support member 37b) can be mounted (e.g., detachably connected) to the first rail 52 of the second slide assembly 50 via the third mounting device 42. When the second rail 54 is in the retracted position R relative to the first rail 52, the first wire arranging arm 26 and the second wire arranging arm 30 are close to each other. The first supporting member 37a and the second supporting member 37b are used for supporting the bottom of one of the first wire arranging arm 26 and the second wire arranging arm 30. It should be noted that the first elastic element 36 and the second elastic element 46 are omitted from fig. 6 to 8.

As shown in FIG. 7, the first wire management arm 26 is at the first predetermined position P1 relative to the first member 24 such that the wire management device 20 has the first length L1. The second rail 54 can be displaced from the retracted position R to a first extended position E1 in an opening direction D relative to the first rail 52, so that the first wire arranging arm 26 and the second wire arranging arm 30 are in a relatively extended state.

As shown in fig. 8, when the second rail 54 continues to move relative to the first rail 52 in the opening direction D to a second extended position E2, the second rail 54 drives the first wire arranging arm 26 to move relative to the first member 24 to the second predetermined position P2, such that the wire arranging device 20 has a second length L2 longer than the first length L1, and thus the wire arranging device 20 can be adapted to slide rail assemblies with different opening lengths.

It should be noted that in other embodiments, the second wire organizer 30 can be mounted to the second rail 54 of the second slide assembly 50 via the second mounting device 40 by the first mounting device 38, the second mounting device 40 and the third mounting device 42 being pivotable; the first wire management arm 26 is mountable to the first rail 52 of the second slide assembly 50 via the first mounting device 38; and the at least one support member is capable of being mounted to the first rail 52 of the first slide assembly 48 via the third mounting device 42. Therefore, the wire arranging device 20 can be applied to the two

slide rail assemblies

48 and 50 on the left and right sides of the rack to achieve the effect of so-called left and right interchange.

From the above description, it can be seen that the enhanced efficacy and advantages of the present invention are:

1. the first member 24 is connected to the connector 22; the first wire management arm 26 is telescopically connected to the first member 24. The first wire arranging arm 26 (or the second wire arranging arm 30) can be arranged at different preset positions, so that the wire arranging device 20 can have different lengths. According to the arrangement, the sliding rail assembly can be used for sliding rail assemblies with different opening lengths.
