Cable management

After having my office featured here on Unclutter.com and getting a question about how I do my cable management, I figured I would post a pic. I definitely recommend checking out her blog.

Here is a shot of the cable management that I am currently employing.  To make it even better I would take a 8″ tall piece of plywood painted the wall color and use it to replace the two short upright 2×4s.  This would create a cable tray color matched to the wall making it virtually invisible. Either design allows easy addition or removal of cables.

Other cable management tips:

  • Label both ends of your cables, even if you think, “I will only have 3 cables” it will make your life much easier when you add more- it is inevitable
  • Use the right length cables- not to long they create rats nests to untangle
  • Use UPSs on mission critical systems
