Cable Management Solutions

[BuGaLoU]

One of the biggest problems I have as an I.T. guy is managing cabled behind computers, printers, etc. Sometimes velcro and zip ties just do not do a nice enough job. I was just wondering if anyone has any experiance with any better solutions? Tips, links, whatever, I am just trying to get some other ideas about making things neat. I would also like to find a good vendor to buy velco, zip ties, and other related materials.

Staples? That was Easy.


I have always used Zip ties and velcrow. That can be very neat if you put the time into it. Mayeb you can look into Wire Loom, but I don't suggest it.

I use those plastic tubes, can't think of what they're called though. You open them up and put the cables in, or feed them in, however you like to do it. Anywya, I find that they work nicely if planned properly and if you don't need to do alot of cable switching, which again, you shouldn't need to do if things are planned properly.

Those, and zip ties and straps (as in staples, but they're called straps.)

Those plastic tubes are wire loom I am think.
