A cable management system may comprise a longitudinal trough with a plurality of lights disposed on an underside of the trough. A power connector may be disposed at an end of the trough communicatively coupled to the plurality of lights. The cable management system may also comprise a second trough or one of a plurality of cable management components, each with a plurality of lights disposed on an underside and a power connector communicatively coupled to the pluralities of lights. The first trough, the second trough, and/or the plurality of cable management components may mate together to form a continuous circuit.
