On the way to get graduated on cables management, what about you ?
1. The cables ties.
Let’s start slow with the Gear Tie from Niteize.
I use them everyday to tie my iPhone cables as well as my headset cables.
It works well, gives me the opportunity to save room, untangle them nicely when I need to use them.
The gear ties come in different colours and sizes (3-inch

That’s already a nice effort to keep it clean but …
2. Cables management 101, the tip of the iceberg.
I discovered the Un-Jungle Kickstarter project some months ago.
It should help me sort my cables out on my desk. Nice effort. It should arrive very soon in my mailbox … I’m impatient.
But what’s going on under my desk or behind the TV? Freaky, full of dusty cables not really looking design … I need a solution!
3. Cables management 102, let’s solve the issue with …
… the Blue Lounge Design cable box management system.
The Cable box
No many colour choices are available but as the goal is to lay low and not attract the eyes … black or white will do.
This box comes with rubber feet so it won’t slip.
It also exist in a mini version
Now, you know what to do to keep it clean and untangled, happy Back to School 😉

Velcro with a slot.
Wrap the velcro around the cable, then the end through the slot and now it’s anchored.
Then pull the rest of the cables to a bundle and velcro them.
Velcro is also easier to adjust than ties.
I still do like my ties, matching the cover of my iPhone cover …
I’ve been using old bread wrapper ties. Sometimes I have to twist two or more together at the ends to make them longer. Your solution is much better.
Same idea, different style. I used the bread ties before finding the gear ties.
ya know, it’s somewhat amazing that ‘cable management’ would be a category of experience unto itself. i’ve had “problems with cables” for over 30 years now — starting with the veritable spaghetti-bowl of cabling connecting geophysical exploration equipment in a truck called a “logging truck”. things have improved a little for me since then, but not by much !
No more cables, just wifi connections!
