Unless we experience some kind of major breakthrough in technology, we are going to deal with cables. Cables for computer hardware. Cables for internet. Cables for appliances. Sure, there’s been some advances in wireless devices like keyboards and mice, but in general – we’re pretty much stuck with the task of organizing cables to some degree.
Organizing cables can be fairly simple with the right tools. Below are a few ideas for keeping your cables in check.
Stand-Alone Cable Organizers
One way to keep your cables organized is to make sure they stay separated from each other. The appropriate solution depends on how many cables you have in a centralized area or per work station. For situations where only a few cables are present, a simple stand-alone organizer is fine. In terms of stand-alone cable organizers, some can allow for movement (left) and others can offer a more stationary purpose for devices and appliances that typically do not move.
Built-in Cable Organizers
As the need to organize cables has increased, furniture companies have responded by creating solutions with “built-in” cable organization. As you can see in the example below, this workstation requires various corded connections and the web-like opening in the desk is specifically designed to accommodate for this.
These are only a few of the resources available for organizing your cables, regardless of whether you own a home, work in an office, or a large work environment. In the quest for a cleaner workplace, cable organization is one of the “little” things you can do to keep things neat – and we could all use a little more of that.
At Intelligent Interiors, we realize that the “small” things add up. In addition to cables, we can also help you with other ergonomic factors such as office chairs, monitor arms, and more.
