What do y'all do to keep computer cables organized? This is a home
situation with 8 or so computers and related stuff around and under a desk.
Any good solutions out there? Hardware? Ideas?
A number of good suggestions have been made already.
I recommend and or second these recommendations:
1. Get rid of as much of your computer stuff as possible. Do you really
need those 8 computers? I virtualized with xen and sold/gave away
old/unneeded hardware. I am not interested in collecting computer
hardware. I let others preserve the history.
2. Velcro ties. Not zip ties. And velcro tie up any excessive lengths of
cable. Also velcro any unused cables. I used to have a big box full of
crazy tangles wiring. Now I have a box full of neat little loops. Much
easier to find the one cable I need out of it now.
3. Arrange things as sensibly as possible to minimize cable runs. The
racks here at my employer had stuff going everywhere. Over time I have
been able to move switches closer to patch panels and servers closer to
their switches and vastly simplified the wiring situation and pulls
hundreds of feet of unneeded wiring from the rack.
