1. A rotatable cable management assembly, comprising:
a coupling member having an exterior surface extending longitudinally from a first end of the coupling member to a second end of the coupling member; and
a cable management structure affixed to the exterior surface of the coupling member, the cable management structure including a plurality of slots extending from the exterior surface of the coupling member to an edge of the cable management structure opposite the exterior surface of the coupling member, the plurality of slots being configured to receive one or more cables wound in a helical arrangement therein;
wherein the coupling member and the cable management structure are configured to rotate in both a clockwise direction and a counterclockwise direction about an axis of the coupling member while permitting expansion and contraction of a helical diameter of the one or more cables wound in the helical arrangement.
