A few weeks ago, my office looked like a mini-hurricane had passed through it. There was a huge amount of cables piled up next to the computer case, and other cable clutter strewn across the desk. Perhaps the worst part was that my headphones were thrown away. Cable management is not an easy task. It takes a lot of planning and patience to see the results. But let me tell you, once everything is in its place, you will appreciate your efforts to achieve a clutter-free look. So, if you are looking for the best solutions for managing cables in your office, here are some items that will help declutter your workspace.
1. Cable manager tray under the desktop
If you have a lot of cables running through your desk, a better option is to invest in some quality cable trays. These can handle a variety of items, such as power strips, laptop adapters, and more.
The Wirerun wire basket comes in a variety of sizes and is strong and durable. If you have a wooden table, you can easily mount it on the countertop or side. This tray starts at $17.92.
2. J Canal Road
considered as J Channel Raceways Another way to hide thick cables and messy wires. Unlike the above, you don't need to open them. Instead, you can easily mount them on the sides of a table or under adhesive tape.
These channels are ideal for both home and office use. All you have to do is stick them to a clean surface and thread the wires through the opening at the top. Add a couple of cable ties to secure the cables, and you should be done.
It's worth noting that many users have praised the strong adhesive of this duct. It will cost you $22.
3. Cable sheath and tube
While J-channels help achieve a clean look, they may not be ideal for all installations, especially if you're fitting a TV unit. In such cases, cable sleeves prove to be a convenient alternative. They come in a variety of colors and blend in well with the wall.
If you're looking for bendable tubes, they cost $16.99 and are about 19 inches long. Plus, they come with a code. For better connection management, attach a couple of reusable Velcro ties and then zip up the sleeve.
Uppleva cable cover tape is considered to be IKEA It is the perfect solution if you are looking for a permanent solution.
The good news is that you can paint or wallpaper it to match the rest of your home. And it only costs $17.99.
4. HEADPHONE STAND
Having your precious pair of headphones resting on your monitor not only looks unprofessional, but it also adds an unsightly clutter to your desk. The answer: a dedicated headphone stand. Not only does a stand save space on your desk, it also adds a clean look. A better solution is to have wireless headphones.
We recommendheadphone holderIt has a sleek design and can hold the weight of most headphones. Plus, it's affordable at $8.99.
You can also check out the wooden wing from Avantree. I particularly like the combination of alloy and wood.
5. Under-desk headphone holder
If a permanent headphone mount isn't your thing, you can opt for an under-table mount. This works best if you have a pair of wired headphones that you can plug into the computer cabinet and hide the wires. Additionally, it hides the headphones from plain sight.
The Elevation Lamp speaker stand is one of the most reviewed stands on Amazon. Dubbed the Anchor, it has over 4.5 user reviews and a 3-star rating. Furthermore, it comes with XNUMXM VHM adhesive for easy mounting to the underside of your desk.
Anchor is priced at $11.95.
6. Headphone holders
Do you want to keep your wired earphones securely in place? If so, the Brainwavz Headphone Holder is the perfect choice. It comes with a 3M adhesive strip that you can either stick to the back of your monitor or the edge of your desk.
But if you'd rather use a small cord coil without having to stuff all the cords inside, opt for the ELFRhino cord coiler. It's a small silicone case that you can simply wrap long cords around and zip down. Hey, a tangle-free world!
7. Cable Ties
Would I be wrong if I said that cable ties are the building blocks of cable management? I doubt it.
Industrial cable ties come in a variety of shapes and sizes and are available for just $6.99 for 100 pieces. These, again, are highly reviewed items, with many users praising their strength and durability. So, if you buy a pack, it's going to last a long time.
The only thing you have to keep in mind is not to tighten them too much when tying them.
8. Cable ties
Wire loops are more of a permanent solution because they require drilling or hammering into a wall or tabletop. If you have LAN or telephone cables out of place, consider Parth Impex's cable clips. Priced at $9.95, these come in various sizes to fit cables of varying thickness.
9. ADHESIVE CAPS
If you change your desk setup often, adhesive clips are the way to go. They stick firmly to any surface, and you can loop your cable through the top.
eBoot's "Adhesive Cables" allow you to attach thin wires, such as USB cables or earphones. They have over 50% positive reviews on Amazon. Additionally, these can also be used in cars.
10. Cable holder
Okay, so you've sorted the power cord and HDMI cables. Your headphones will rest securely on the stand, and the UPS cord will be securely mounted on the desktop. But what about the charging cables? Surely, you can't ruin the look of your desk just yet. For them, you can use a cable holder.
The Toysdone cable holder features five slots that can be used to hold the ends of your wires and cables. Just place it on the edge of your desk, and you're good to go. Whenever you need a cable, simply pull it toward you. Once you've done that, you can simply slide it back into the holder. This is a clever way to keep all your wires in one place instead of having their ends dangling around.
11. Cable Management Box
A power box comes in handy if you can't attach cable runners or cable organizer trays to your desk. These boxes allow you to store unsightly items like power strips inside, thus hiding clutter.
The NtonPower Management Box costs $16 and measures approximately 12 inches x 5 inches. It can easily hold a medium-sized power strip. So you can place it on the edge of a table, plug in your essential adapters, cover it, and forget about it.
Clean printing presses
Double-sided 3D mounting strips can come in handy for attaching to power strips or a USB hub under your desk. Note that cable management requires planning in addition to the products we recommend. Ensure there's space under your desk for a clean, minimalist look.
Next time you see cables and wires trailing down the desk, you know which products will help you out.
