What are you doing with the wires under the table?

Cables and wires

BenZeR, 2011-07-01 13:59:05

The essence of the question is a little different than its wording in the title :))
I'm very interested in how you deal with all the bunch of wires going to the system unit?
I also have a multi-channel audio system connected to my computer at home, so I have x2 wires (compared to a regular PC and 2.0 speakers). And it looks terrible.
Actually, a question. What devices are there to neatly hide all these wires? Googled different tubes for wires. Yes, it looks aesthetically pleasing, but you can’t put all the wires in there =(
I would like something universal, for all the wires at once. I’m
attaching a photo of my floor under the table :)

I myself use clamps and mark cables with paper on adhesive tape (especially plugs).

The easiest and cheapest way is to twist all the wires with rings and fasten them with clamps. And hang these rings on a nail to the table. Cheap and cheerful and easy to disassemble.

I look at them sadly and dream of wireless electricity... :)

For the convenience of washing floors and in the name of aesthetics, I sawed out “hooks” from fiberboard and drilled them to the back of the table. I laid the wires on top. Of the additional advantages, you can quickly add or remove wires. photo

At work, I glued it to the salt with tape, it’s worse than clamps, but it looks visually better, in fact, they don’t look at all, they fit snugly on the table, and everything was ok outside, since there was an extension cord immediately under the table, but there are already clamps unequivocally and box

Another very cool device is a paper clip (http://www.komus.ru/product/73598/). If you find a very, very large one (there are more than on the link), then you can put it on the countertop or table leg not completely, grabbing a bundle of wires. Of course, it won't hurt to tie them with clamps.
The device is liked by the fact that while performing its function, it does not spoil the table.

Oh goodbye karma.
The option to buy an iMac does not suit you?

From the "universal" only cable ties come to mind.
But at home I refused them, as I constantly connect and disconnect something.
But for users, a nice thing.
Cheap and neat)

I have a power filter attached to the top of the back wall of the table, and all the wires are tightened with clamps into bundles. And what goes beyond the table is packed in a box .

@ChemAli

This is how it is done at work: At home, it’s about the same, only without tightening with clamps, since the peripherals are constantly reconnected, the cables lie freely on hooks, the pilot and other sockets are hung in a special bag (it seems from Ikea, but maybe not).

I also have a table with its back to the wall. I attached hooks to the wall, hung the wires on them so that they would not touch the floor. Then he closed the wall under the chipboard table with a panel to match the color of the table (the panel just stands on the floor, leaning on the legs of the table). As a result, the wires are not visible, they do not interfere and do not collect dust, you cannot hook it with your foot. The panel can be easily moved to the side for wire manipulation.

Use CableBox

Dal, 2011-07-01
@Dal

You can use a cable manager , but he laid everything down, it’s difficult to pull the wires back and forth. I saw such a cable manager only in the picture. You can try a thread organizer, such as for a server rack.

I don’t have a photo at hand, but I did it this way, we fasten plastic springs for paper to the back of the table with 3 self-tapping screws (for 50 or more, those with latches) enough for any reasonable bundle of wires and very budgetary, and it’s not very difficult to disassemble . With small pieces of such springs of a suitable diameter, I fastened various wire harnesses leaving from the tables

Special braid for wires + clamps.
I group the wires so that they are not one heap, otherwise at one moment I will have to redo everything.
Keyboard + mouse - one group, speakers + webcam + something else - another group. It's easier for me that way.
And the wires themselves just lie behind, because the table stands close to the wall.

Alexander, 2011-07-01
@Alexx_ps

Adjust the length of the wires with special wires that usually come with them, and then everything will be more or less neat.

If you don’t want to bother with the wires from the “tubes” wardrobe trunks, then you can do it like I did at my old job.
A metal mesh shelf is screwed from the bottom of the table cover, onto which all the wires rise and throw from the floor.
As a result, the wires are always accessible and do not hang under your feet.
