Tips for managing storage of computer cables? [closed]

Solution 1:

Cut up a big sheet of Velcro and form those mini strips that cost 10x's too much!

Solution 2:

You can get spools of velcro cable wrap that you cut to length; I like those a lot better than zip ties. They sell the exact same thing in green instead of black or grey in the gardening department for a lot less.

Roll them into rolls (properly, alternating the twist for each loop) and use some kind of ties to keep them tightly bundled. You might also want to label by length and keep the same length cables together.

We use some peg-board (like you might use to hold tools in your garage) to hold cables in the storage room next to our data center. That seems to work reasonably well for small amounts of a lot of different kinds/lengths of cable.

Solution 3:

It sounds to me like you have far too many cables - but that's another topic.

Hang them on a coat hanger and hang that in your closet/wardrobe. Simple, cheap and fully functional.
