Cable Management: A Game Changer for Home Office Organization
When it comes to home office organization, cable management is often an afterthought. We've all been there - surrounded by a sea of cables and wires, with no clear idea how to manage them. But what if I told you that with the right tools and techniques, you can create a beautifully organized workspace that's both functional and stylish? In this article, we'll explore some of the most effective cable management solutions for home offices, including a plastic cable trunking kit, corner piece adapters, and more.
One of the most useful cable management tools I recently discovered is a plastic cable tie kit. These kits are similar to traditional plastic cable ties but are much less permanent, making them perfect for temporary or semi-permanent routing of cables. They're also super cheap, which is a major bonus. To use one of these kits, simply open it up and route your cables through the hole, close it back up, and voila! Your cables are neatly managed and out of sight. The best part? You can easily lift the latch to access your cables in the future.
I also picked up a free 1-meter long plastic keyboard shank kit from Amazon, which I've cut to size to fit my needs. This has been a game-changer for keeping my workspace organized. I've sorted out some measuring and have one cable routed along the top of my desk, another along the side, and another along the wall. With these cables neatly managed, I can finally see what's going on behind them.
Another useful tool in my cable management arsenal is a plastic cable trunking kit. What I love about this kit is that it comes with yellow adhesive on the back, making it super easy to stick onto any surface - whether it's a wall or a table. This has been a lifesaver for me, as I no longer have to worry about finding double-sided sticky pads to attach these trunking kits to surfaces.
But what really sets this kit apart is its versatility. It comes in a range of lengths and can be used to route cables along walls, around corners, or even under furniture. The best part? It's incredibly easy to use - simply cut it to size, sort out your cables, and stick it onto the surface you want.
As I was organizing my corner of the room, I realized that I needed a way to manage cables around a corner. That's when I picked up a corner piece adapter for the killer management kit. This little piece of genius has helped me create a seamless cable management system that looks like a dream. With this adapter, I can now route cables along the wall without any kinks or creases - it's truly amazing.
So, how did I manage to tame the cable beast in my corner of the room? It took about half an hour, but the end result is well worth it. Before, my workspace was a mess - with power strips on the floor and cables snaking across the desk. But now, everything is neatly organized and out of sight. The best part? I can easily access any cable or device that I need to.
To achieve this level of organization, I used a combination of tools and techniques. First, I set up a 10-port power extension box in my main workspace - this powers pretty much everything except my PC. Next, I created a small cable management box near the power strip, which houses free socket extensions for my monitors. This has helped me keep my desk clutter-free while still being able to charge and power all of my devices.
But that's not all - I also managed to squeeze in a few other devices into my cable management system. A rubber cable management clip is now holding a lightning cable as well as a micro USB cable, allowing me to plug in my phone or portable battery bank and charge it on the go. And, of course, I have two charging stations: one for my phone and one for my portable battery bank.
As I sit here surrounded by my neatly organized workspace, I feel a sense of satisfaction and pride. Cable management may not be the most glamorous topic, but with the right tools and techniques, it can make all the difference in creating a functional and stylish home office. Whether you're a homeowner or an office worker, taking control of your cables and wires is an investment worth making - so take a cue from me and start cable managing today!

help solve a couple of the issues and respond to all your feedback that I received in the comment section in previous videos a lot of you have told me that I've created a fire hazard in my room and to be honest you're probably not wrong it's not called fire yet today we're good to be hopefully improving the Sun ever so slightly by came managing the corner of my room here which at the moment looks like a complete disaster and pretty much anything you see in this video that I'm going to be using to help cable manage and pretty much resolve a couple of the issues with my setup here or pretty much of my room in general anything you've seen this video will be linked down below for your convenience and that includes the cable boxes and pretty much my entire setup and any cable management accessories that I use in this video I'll link down below for your convenience so that said let's start the video so first of all I picked up these two cable management boxes that I'm going to be housing my power strips in I've got the big version of the d-line key management box that I'm going to be using for my bigger power strip and and I've also got the smaller version of the cable management box that I'm going to be using for my smaller power strip so these two items C are going to be essential for cable management as they're going to pretty much reduce a lot of the clutter and the disaster that is the corner of my room here so these so going to be very very heavy I also picked up these magnetic cable clips that looked really cool and they proved to be pretty useful they can fit a variety of different cable sizes and stuff which is very nice chances are going to be probably sticking this onto the back of one of my kale management boxes right here which is going to really help cable manage my lightning cable as well as my micro USB cable I also picked up some rubber cable clips not entirely to show you film going to be using these in this video as I don't think there's much you support them be killed managing let me call my room yeah however these are very useful to have around your setup and house in general to help kill headers some cables now and again I also picked up some velcro cable ties from visual one in white and one is black these above a 20 pack a Velcro cable ties these are pretty much the best velcro cable ties that you can buy upset developer cable ties way too much in the past a minute or so but these are very very good I wouldn't want to get any other cable ties out there other than the visual ones as these have never let me down they're very strong the velcro is very good so yeah these are very useful very good cable ties I would highly recommend that I've been using them for a couple years now and they have not let me down as I mentioned earlier I do of course also have some plastic cable tie mounts that you can mount to the bottom of your desk and then run a plastic cable tie through them to pretty much help manage a couple cables however these are kind of like an old method of doing things are supposed to be problem with plastic cable ties and plastic cable tie mounts that I have found is that they're quite permanent so once you wrap some cables through them and you stick it to the bottom of your desk if you ever want to on the cable behind of them you pretty much have to get a pair of scissors and pretty much cut every single cable tie there it is which can be quite annoying and also potentially dangerous as if you're like me you might cut the cable in half in the process of trying to cut the plastic cable type so that's another fun and it does take a long time and it's just a hassle and cable managing things once everything is cable Hettich with plastic cable ties so I have found a solution to that problem by using these now I'm not entirely sure what these are called but I found them on Amazon there is a link to these in the description down below of course and these are very very useful so these here are similar to the plastic cable ties and plastic cable type mouse power there much less permanent which is very good as you can stick them underneath your table for example you can open this up route your cables to through there and then it close it up and that's pretty much it the cables are running through this hole it's all done you don't have to worry about having to cut anything in the future if you ever want to on kill manage whatever you've routed it through here simply lift this latch back the cable will pop out and that's it ready it's super simple very useful these are super super cheap as well I also picked up this free meter long plastic keyboard shonky kit from Amazon and I've cut it to size sorted some measuring in the corner of my room over there so I cut one to sixty centimeters in length and then the other one to 80 centimeters in length so that leaves me with one point four meters spare than this plastic cable trunking kit which is very nice what I really like about these as well as I'll be come with some yellow adhesive on the back here which makes it very easy to pretty much stick this onto any surface like a wall or a table for example which is very handy as you're not going to have to go out and buy some double-sided sticky pads to help stick these onto a wall as they already have adhesive on the back of them which is very good I also picked up this corner piece adapter for the kill management Rocky it as I am going to be browsing these cables around a corner and this corner PC is just going to help things look quite clear in general which is very good of course and what that said I think that's pretty much it for all the items that we're going to be using in this video now a ball that I said let's actually begin Kimmel

much everything here powers my entire setup and my PC is powered by separate outlet from the wall through here so they are kind of separated as my PC draws much more power than pretty much everything else here so pretty much separated that these two connectors as I think I have a 5 meter cable running from the wall to my PC over in my set up there it's not quantity back of this small cable management box here I have a rubber cable management clip holding a lightning cable as well as a micro USB cable allowing me to plug in my phone into this and we watch to charge you whatever I need to
