A computer desk can quickly end up with half a dozen to a full dozen cables that don’t have a route to take. These cables and wires often end up sprawled all over the place. Cables hanging down from your desk. Computer cables on the floor. They’re everywhere and it doesn’t look particularly motivating, tidy, or inspiring. To fix this trouble, fortunately, there are a few things you can do.

Use Less Devices

Although it’s probably not the way you want to go, you can always use less devices and will thereby have less cables on your hands.

Move Your Desktop Computer Tower

If you have a desktop computer tower on top of your desk, it’s taking up space and also is centralizing where your cables are leading. Do yourself a big favor and move it into an under-desk CPU mount.

This redirects where cables are leading to, reducing the mess or at least removing it from your immediate sightline.

Put Any Cables Not In Use Away

If there are cables, such as USB cables, that you use sometimes but not often, set aside a drawer or storage spot to put them in.

Any cables you find yourself not using day-to-day, put them somewhere close by so that they are accessible but not participating in the mess in front of you.

Use An Under Desk Cord Management Tray

An under-desk cord management tray is a hidden tray that sits at the back of your table for cables, surge protectors, or power strips to rest on.

If you are using an outlet-expanding surge protector, this is exactly the sort of thing you can use to move the mess from off your table. This tray’s designed to take your power strip or surge protector and keep it out of sight.

Buy A Few Magnetic Cable Management Channel

This is perhaps the most effective way to get a mess under control. One or two magnetic cable management channels can be put anywhere and are used as a filter down which you can feed wires and cables.

This sort of acts as a very loose cable tie. If you find cable ties unappealing or aren’t interested in removing the amount of cables you are using, use a cable management channel like this. You won’t regret deciding on it.

Here are a few things you can do to help keep your desk and cables a little more organized regardless of how many cables you’re using, the devices you need around, and any other variables that could be restricting the tidiness of your work area.
