If you are a geek like me, you probably have a huge box or bin full of cables that seem to have woven together into a not-so-fine tapestry or nest. "Do I really need those modular power supply cables which I don't even have the power supply to and that power a floppy drive?" "Probably not." But in my quest for cleaning out my electronics bin and drawer I've found some cables that I know will still be useful or that I have no clue what they go to so I fear throwing them out. Instead, after spending an hour or so detangling I came up with the following solution:
Each cable now is in its own individual sandwich baggy. All of the cables fit into that bin and take up about 1/4th the size they previously did. You could use twist ties or Velcro instead but I had neither of those. This is also a good idea if you are moving and you can label or write on the bag to more easily identify the cable.
Anyone else have any cable management tips? Those Velcro cable ties work wonders on in-use cables. I can never seem to optimally route my desktop cables both inside and outside.
