Some desks have cable management built in. There's a small shelf in the back of mine with holes for using cable ties.

Here's a system I employ all over my house:

Rip-Tie + Plastic loop / bracket thingy + wood screw


You can screw this little gadget we just made into any surface, and use it to organize cables along the back of your rig, under , or wherever you want. The genius is that because the rip tie is velcro, you don't have to do anything drastic to add a new cable or remove one. one 6" rip tie can wrap around a LOT of cables to keep them neat. Here's a pic:

Ditto (I have the same desk). It keeps my workspace nice and tidy looking.

Also, cable snakes are another way of keeping it a little more organized.

Cable tie bases are your friend. Especially the self adhesive ones but sometime a small screw in the center is needed.




You can use the cable worms but they make cable chasing a pain when there's a problem that needs tracing.

Just remember to keep power cables away from audio lines (especially unlbalanced lines), and if they must cross, do it at a ninety degree angle.


Ikea also do a good cable management tray for only $10:

In fact the SIGNUM range from them has some useful bits for cable management.
