I can strongly recommend getting a roll of double-sided velcro. That way, you can cut off various lengths as needed, and loop cable bundles to anything. Glue or nail a length to any surface, and you can even quickly attach / detach the cables that are kept together with a separate stretch of velcro. Also perfect when you need to add or remove a cable from the bundle.

@coltonrudd 2 жыл бұрын

This is exactly what I've been doing! I work in a corporate IT space and have been using this method for years with great success. I find they attach really well to 3M Command Strips, which I adhere to the underside of the desk. Super speedy for adding/removing cables, or making adjustments to the overall peripheral configuration. No permanent modifications needed to the desk by screwing, nailing, gluing, etc. Perfectly clean removal!

@coltonrudd Жыл бұрын

@@Xaldin64 Yep! I've tried some off brands for cheaper, but what I find works best is the name brand Velcro rolls (the self-adhere variety) and the 3M Command Strips (white). For whatever reason, the name brand Velcro product sticks better to the Command Strips.

Just did a bunch of cable management on my desk today (got recommended this video afterwards, unfortunately!) and the thing that I bought that was super helpful and not mentioned here was magnetic tape! My desk has metal industrial-style legs with flat sides so I was able to throw some tape on the back of my power board and magnetise it to the desk. Did the same with a couple of my power bricks from my two monitors (after checking that it would be safe to do so, I dunno how magnets work). Looked super clean, didn't have to nail anything into anything else. I also picked up a couple of rubber cable holders with the sticky back, mounted a few of them under my desk to hold the cables in. Allows for me to pull them out easily while also keeping them tidy under there. Great video!

I recently put together my new desk setup with a clean modern look and full cable management. I went with the rack under the desk because I have no drawers. Absolutely worth the effort to give a clean and modern look. I have a tough time walking away from this desk now.

@The1Music2MyEars 3 жыл бұрын

I would also like to add that cable organization is important but there is also something most of us don't consider. The speed to service a cable. If you use cable clips in combination with twisties, it'll take a long time to remove a cable. I instead recommend the cable clips that are rectangular and hold 5 cords or so with the latch style closer.

The other quite important thing to consider is fire safety. A cause for fire can be dust getting caught in the power extension board, especially if all the powerpoints are not used. Having the board vertically or upside significantly increases your safety, which is how i got into cable management myself initially!

We did something pretty similar. I have 2 drawers with a powerstrip on each of them. I basically just stuck everything behind my drawers too! For me, my table has a little channel on the long sides. The channel is just a product of the frame connecting to the legs, however, that little gap makes a perfect channel to hide all my cables.

For the power strip coming out of the wall, I actually recommend getting one with a 90° plug and running that cord straight down to the floor. Then tucking the cord under the wall trim between the trim and the carpet. Most houses have a considerable sized gap between the carpet and trim that you can’t see unless push down the carpet.

@demontekdigital1704 3 жыл бұрын

One thing you can do to make that more permanent solution more flexible is to use screws for your power strips. They have a wide hole/slot combo so you can attach them, and still remove them if you need to. That way if you ever move, or change things you only have to slide it til it comes free. Then you just remove the screws. The velcro idea is really cool, and gave me the idea to do that with my monitor power blocks. Thank you for this!

If you have a lot of similar cables, it's helpful to identify them with colored tape on each end--i.e. red on both ends of one displayport cable, yellow on each end of another
