Even if you have a carefully selected PC, monitor, and stylish keyboard, if cables are tangled behind the desk or at your feet, your beautiful desk environment will be ruined. There are also safety issues, such as dust accumulating easily and causing a fire. This time, we will introduce effective cable storage techniques and recommended items to keep your desk area looking tidy.
The basics of cable management are three steps: floating, hiding, and organizing.
Let’s start by “floating” it. The most effective way is to attach a “cable tray” to the back of the desk top. Just push all your power strips and excess cables into this tray, and your feet will feel dramatically cleaner. Sanwa Supply, Garage, and other companies sell many clamp-type products that can be installed on your desk without drilling holes.
Next is the “hide” approach. Visual noise can be greatly reduced by covering wires that cannot fit into the cable tray or charging cables that you want to leave out on your desk using a cable sleeve or wire cover so that they look like one thick wire.
Finally, “summarize”. If the cables used to charge your smartphone or earphones are scattered on your desk, use a cable holder or magnetic clip. Anker’s ``Magnetic Cable Holder’’ is very convenient because it can be fixed to the edge of your desk and the cable can be pulled out only when you want to use it.
It takes a little time and patience to organize the wires perfectly, but once they are neatly organized, subsequent cleaning becomes much easier. Please take advantage of the weekend and create your ideal beautiful desk environment.
