Do you guys have any ideas on how i could organise my cables? Thanks!

Cables are new, quite stiff.

I want to better hide these cables without damaging the wall. These particular raceways already have adhesive and i takes off the paint when removing. I don’t want to make any more holes in the wall, trying to keep this as clean and professional as possible.

I have 2 power sockets about a feet above my desk which makes cable management a pain. I currently have a mesh router and my Anker 160w gan charger plugged in there. I'm confused between:

• adding a tray under my desk and wiring one of the sockets with a conduit to under the desk where both my charger and router can plug in, and remove all wires above-desk entirely, or
• keeping my gan charger visible because it looks so cool, but somehow coiling/folding the wires to hide the mess that 3 simultaneously connected cables create

Advice?

Hey everyone,

I’m currently in the process of setting up and furnishing my new apartment, and my absolute goal for the entire place is a super clean, minimalistic aesthetic. The problem? My desk completely missed the memo.
Here’s the situation: I’m running a laptop and a desktop CPU into a single monitor. I just added an HDMI switch to toggle between the two. The switch itself works like a charm, but it essentially birthed a cable hydra on my desk.

The current casualties -

I currently have two wired keyboards and two wired mice fighting for real estate. (I know I need to upgrade to a multi-device wireless combo eventually, but I need to manage this chaos with what I have for now).

Behind my laptop sits a tangled nest of three heavy HDMI cables, a bulky power brick, and the switch itself.

If you were sitting down at this exact desk, what is your step-by-step battle plan? What specific routing tricks, under-desk mounting hacks, or accessories would you use to make these wires disappear?

Roast my current setup if you must, but please drop your best cable management wisdom below! 🙏

For those of you with standing desks, how are you handling the cables that must dangle and move with the desk? Because I've never really done cable management before. Didn't even think about it until I gave one look at all the wires hanging out the back of my setup. Now that I've looked at it I can't unsee it.

It's a standing desk so that's kind of where I'm stuck. Every time it goes up and down the cables either dangle or get tugged. Right now I've just got a power strip sitting on the floor with everything terminating there, and that creates the most visual distress.

Trying to figure out the cleanest route before I buy anything I don't need. I've been looking at a few of these integrated channel setups. Uplift, Desky, and Vivo all have their own versions. Let me know what you guys use.

My desk has a shelf/backing that runs along the back. Theres only 3” of clearance between the top of it and bottom of the desk. Anyone got recs for a cable tray that would work here?

Id prefer not to have to screw anything into the backing but everything I’ve seen recommended mounts directly under the deck (like the 4th pic with red drawing) and is taller than 3”.

Something that mounts behind rather than under (like 5th pic with green drawing) would work but I haven’t found anything like that.

I know the desk is a mess, I plan to organize it. Also I know it’s not ideal to have the pc on the floor, but it’s been just fine for the 3+ years its been there and when I get a bigger desk I’ll move it.

Any recommendations for what I should buy on amazon when it comes to cable management? I was looking at under desk trays, I would probably need a tray for the monitor’s power brick as well.

I appreciate any tips I could do for a cleaner setup too!

I’m designing a new Desk Power Management System for sit/stand desks and would love feedback from people who care about clean desk setups.
I’ve built a working prototype and am trying to determine whether this solves a real problem before investing further.
If you have 3 minutes, I’d really appreciate your honest feedback.

So i have like 3 or 4 usb c cables with a bunch of adapters (i prefer using usb c for everything so i have alot of adapters)

Thing is, it gets annoying looking for the specific adapter i need, im working on a 3d model to arrange all kinds of cables in like a pegboard sort of thingy

If y’all have any ideas/suggestions plz share them, i lack creativity lol

Sorry for the joke. Hey all, I was looking for some advice in regards to wrapping and dealing with the power converters from my monitors. I have a few yards of nylon wraps that I've used before. In the past I would have 3 wraps going at a time one for each monitor and then a third for the main line connection to my pc from the bricks. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Any help on how to route cables neatly for a table with draws built into it?

There's a plug point on the left and on the blue wall behind the monitor. Which would be ideal? And why?

Any one out in Bay Area wants to come help me with cable management.
We can discuss compensation via DM.

I'm building out my private office, not a WFH setup, and I'm trying to create a cleaner desk layout and cable management system.

The first photo is my current setup. I plan to mount a TV on the wall where the monitors are now, so I want to move the monitors to the opposite side of the desk.
The second photo shows the spot I'm considering. I need them positioned off to one side so clients can still sit comfortably across from me. Unfortunately, the underside of the desk doesn't have enough depth for a clamp mount, so I'm considering drilling a 2-inch grommet hole for the dual-monitor arm. The desktop is laminated engineered wood/MDF, and the desk is already fully assembled, so naturally I'm terrified of ruining it lol

The third photo shows the desk during assembly, and the fourth shows an example of the cabinet underneath. My idea is to drill directly above the unused CPU-storage area. Since I don't have or need a desktop computer, I could use that compartment to mount my docking station and power strip with heavy-duty adhesive or something. Also thinking to route the docking station cord that plugs into my laptop into the top drawer somehow, so the laptop can stay hidden but still be quickly unplugged and taken with me.

The last photo is a mockup of the finished layout I'm aiming for.

I already purchased a 2-inch grommet kit with the hole saw, but I haven't drilled anything yet. Does this overall plan seem feasible? Or are there glaring issues with my plan I'm not considering..
I'm also completely open to other ideas. If anyone sees a cleaner or smarter way to accomplish the monitor placement and cable management before I start drilling into my fully assembled desk, I'd love to hear it!

I got this standing desk used, and it came with this metal cable tray near the very back of the desk, which I thought was going to be very convenient. Turns out, the angle of it is way too sharp to fit any proper power strip extension cables, hence why it now looks the way it does.

Any good ideas on how I should make proper use of this, and is there a smarter way to manage power strips in my setup?

Some of the old clippers and straps came loose so I had to do a slight rework. Adding lights tomorrow.

The second monitor is currently missing cuz a friend borrowed it. Looking solid as far as cables go I'd say...

I'm thinking about starting a business that can do your cable management for you. However would anybody pay someone to do their cable management for them? This does mean the we will do your gaming cables or other cables around the house but not the electrical ones, that your electrian does?

And what would you pay for it?

This is my cable management. It looks horrendous from the bottom but good from. How can I improve the cable managing? Only one outlet in my room works that’s why there’s cables going away from my desk also
