A vertical cable manager includes a base, an interconnected double-spine assembly topped by a top frame, and a pair of doors. The double-spine assembly is supported by the base. Each door is removably coupled at each lower corner to the base and at each upper corner to the top frame, thus permitting each door to be opened or hinged along either of its lateral sides or removed entirely. The double-spine assembly may support selectively repositionable mounting members, which may in turn support a large cable spool, a selectively repositionable shelf-mounted handle spool assembly, and various other cable management accessories.

The vertical cable manager of claim 1, wherein the two side members of the top frame are each a front-to-back side member utilizing tubular construction to provide structural rigidity between the first and second column assemblies. 3. The vertical cable manager of claim 1, wherein the cross member of the top frame is a side-to-side cross member utilizing tubular construction to provide structural rigidity between the first and second column assemblies. 4. The vertical cable manager of claim 1, wherein: a first of the two side members of the top frame is part of a first side assembly and is coupled to the top end of the first column assembly;a second of the two side members of the top frame is part of a second side assembly and is coupled to the top end of the second column assembly; andthe cross member is a side-to-side cross member, interconnecting the first and second side assemblies. 5. The vertical cable manager of claim 4, wherein the first side assembly, second side assembly and side-to-side cross member each utilize tubular construction to provide structural rigidity between the first and second column assemblies. 6. The vertical cable manager of claim 1, wherein the side-to-side cross member of the base is one of two side-to-side cross members, wherein the front-to-back side member of the base is one of two front-to-back side members, and wherein the two side-to-side cross members of the base and the two front-to-back side members of the base together form a rectangular frame. 7. The vertical cable manager of claim 6, wherein the rectangular frame supports the vertical cable manager on a floor of a room. 8. The vertical cable manager of claim 6, wherein the first and second column assemblies are each mounted on top of, and are supported by, a respective side member of the base. 9. The vertical cable manager of claim 1, wherein each of the first and second column assemblies includes: a first member, including a side panel and orthogonal portions that together have a C-shaped cross-section, extending from a bottom of one of the column assemblies to a top of said one of the column assemblies; andfirst and second brackets, each formed separately from the first member but rigidly attached to a respective orthogonal portion of the first member, and each including a portion, orthogonally disposed relative to the side panel, extending from the bottom of the column assembly to the top of the column assembly. 10. A vertical cable manager, comprising: a first column assembly;a second column assembly, parallel to but spaced apart from the first column assembly;a top frame connecting a top end of the first column assembly to a top end of the second column assembly; anda base connecting a bottom end of the first column assembly to a bottom end of the second column assembly;wherein each of the first and second column assemblies includes: a first member, including a side panel and orthogonal portions that together have a C-shaped cross-section, extending from a bottom of the column assembly to a top of the column assembly, andfirst and second brackets, each formed separately from the first member but rigidly attached to a respective orthogonal portion of the first member, and each including a portion, orthogonally disposed relative to the side panel, extending from the bottom of the column assembly to the top of the column assembly. 11. The vertical cable manager of claim 10, wherein the first and second brackets are welded to the first member. 12. The vertical cable manager of claim 10, wherein each of said brackets includes at least two planar members that are orthogonally disposed relative to one another such a first planar member is orthogonally disposed relative to the side panel and a second planar member is parallel to, but spaced apart from, the side panel. 13. The vertical cable manager of claim 10, wherein the first member of each column assembly includes first and second flanges, orthogonally disposed relative to the side panel, and wherein each of the first and second brackets is rigidly attached to a respective one of the first and second flanges. 14. The vertical cable manager of claim 13, wherein a column of evenly-spaced mounting apertures are disposed along the first bracket and penetrate through the first bracket and the respective one of the first and second flanges. 15. The vertical cable manager of claim 10, wherein each column assembly includes a plurality of finger projections extending forwardly or rearwardly from the first bracket. 16. The vertical cable manager of claim 15, wherein the finger projections are a part of a fingered cable guide mounted to a respective one of the first brackets. 17. The vertical cable manager of claim 10, wherein the side panel of the first column assembly includes a first column of mounting features each adapted to support a first end of removable midsection member, the second column assembly includes a second column of mounting features each adapted to support a second end of the removable midsection member, and the mounting features of the first column are aligned with the mounting features of the second column such that the removable midsection member may be supported at any of various heights in the vertical cable manager. 18. The vertical cable manager of claim 10, wherein the side panel of the first column assembly includes a first row of mounting features each adapted to support a first end of removable midsection member, the second column assembly includes a second row of mounting features each adapted to support a second end of the removable midsection member, and the mounting features of the first row are aligned with the mounting features of the second row such that the removable midsection member may be supported at any of various depths in the vertical cable manager. 19.
