Use Cable Ties/Straps, Sleeves, and Management Trays/Clips

Description

A combination of bundling cables, routing them neatly, and concealing them provides a clean look.

Recipe/Instructions

1. Unplug & Detangle: Unplug all cables (label them first if needed!) and untangle the mess.
2. Bundle: Group cables running to the same general location (e.g., power cables together, signal cables together). Secure each bundle loosely with reusable Velcro cable ties or straps (avoid zip ties which can pinch).
3. Route & Secure:
   • Cable Clips: Use adhesive cable clips attached to the back of the desk or TV stand to guide bundled cables along a neat path.
   • Management Tray/Box: Mount a cable management tray or box underneath the desk or behind the TV stand. Place power strips and bundled cables inside this container.
   • Cable Sleeve: For bundles running a longer distance (e.g., from desk to wall), encase them in a flexible cable sleeve (split loom tubing or zippered neoprene sleeve) for a single, tidy look.
4. Raceway (Optional): If cables need to run along a wall, use an adhesive cord cover raceway that sticks to the wall and hides the cables inside.
5. Power Strip Management: Mount the power strip to the underside of the desk or the back of the furniture to keep it off the floor.
