Explanation

Cable management involves organizing, labeling, and routing physical cables in a structured and documented way within a network rack. Proper cable management-using cable ties, color coding, patch panel labels, and cable trays-makes it easy to trace connections, perform maintenance, and troubleshoot without confusion. Change management is a process for controlling and documenting changes to IT systems, but it does not directly address physical cable organization. Asset management tracks inventory of hardware and software assets. Setting baselines establishes performance benchmarks to detect deviations. While all are good practices, only cable management directly solves the problem of tracing physical connections.
