EQUIPMENT Cable organizing help

What do you use to organize your desk cables? I have so many and under my desk looks like a nightmare lol.

Zip ties or better yet, velcro straps. Bundle cleanly, velcro, continue. Secure buckle to places near desk, wall, or other spot to secure out of the way.

I have a cable management tray that hangs off the back of my desk. It’s got the surge protector inside and all cables are zip tied neatly leaving only three cables coming out of it (surge protector, lamp, and Ethernet). Works really well with my standing desk!

Oh that’s genius! I will look into that for sure. I definitely need a surge protector

A cable tray mounted underneath the desk is worth tohe money. It holds power strips and loose cables, so nothing hangs down and creates that messy spider-web look.

I used Velcro straps to bundle them all together; it looks much neater.
