Can a cable stay connected while I open and close the drawer?

Yes, provided you leave a suitable service loop so the cable can follow the drawer through its travel without being stretched, trapped or dragged through the runners.

The access hole solves the entry problem; it does not abolish the need for sensible cable management.
