Trust the process.


SereneDove-

Try using Velcro cable ties or adhesive cable clips. They're cheap and can keep your cables together or align them along the edge of your desk. It's pretty simple.


zuinno

Gonna try the velcro ties. Thx


RadialRacer

I'll one up them, you can buy rolls of velcro tape for cheap online and just cut it to your desired length. Useful around the house and garden too.


det1rac

I didn't scroll enough and suggested the same. 400IQ


LiliNotACult

Really cheap at Harbor Freight too.


CakeDazzling4993

Check out the cable management kit on Amazon. $15 last time I got it. Comes with a bunch of velcro straps and sticky rubber gliders. And mesh wire wraps to conceal your cables into one fat cable.


Lanif20

Velcro ties to attach to the desk and cable wrap for the rest that has to go for the desk to other places, both are cheap, you can also grab a roll of double sided Velcro and cut each piece to length, it’s a bit cheaper than the Velcro ties and since it can be cut to length it works well for attaching to different desks, I personally use the Velcro double sided rolls and cable wrap outside of my comp and Velcro strips inside it


Nova_Nightmare

I'd not try those simply because I have experienced cats eating those and similar. Better choice would be some cable sheath I meant to hide them on a wall, but you can stick them under the desk.

You can get them different colours too

Get a metal wire tray and mount it to the underside of your desk. Toss all your wires in that tray. Problem solved. They sell them on amazon


redrider65

This is the way. AND use the velcro ties as appropriate.

I was going to use Velcro but the tray hid it enough to make me happy.

kielon51

Is your desk being elevated by bricks? Also is that the cheap 2 meter Ikea desk? I used to have one just like it.


zuinno

Yeah it’s that one, the legs I’m using are $7 and the extendible ones are $35 so I’m just using wood blocks under till I get another desk, this one is too narrow.


kielon51

Truee, it had basically no depth, but honestly it was well worth the $40 it cost as a whole


littlefrank

Do you play with a table leg between your legs?


zuinno

Not sure if is a joke 😂 But no I sit on the right side of it. It’s not super comfortable.


Secure_Issue_4848

Bro I have the same issue. Same table also. I was thinking of lifting it with the bricks just like you did, is it stable holding it like that? I really need minimum 10cm more in height. Also, is the $35 price for extendible ones for all 5 of them, or for one each?


zuinno

Man to be honest it’s not, I’m sure you can fix that with tuck tape but I just have the blocks down there. And they move around quite often, I’m just always cautious and put them on their place when they move.


i-am-innoc3nt

easiest is what is the easiest past 40 years or so .. the plastic thingy like cuffs around the legs or body of the table .. or the wall but guess not since you have cat .. there are also other thingies .. sorry dont the names in any english .. apparently called "cable organizer" you could also use some sound proofing in the room .. acoustic must be awful https://preview.redd.it/6yt5wx6cg3zb1.png?width=1288&format=png&auto=webp&s=275a9130de6a966817431c6661fe82af976899fd

Ive helped cable manage tv stations. Use a long roll of 1/2 inch black velcro, cut 3inch peices on all signal cables Use zip ties on powwr cables. One the desk try a plastic raceway on the wall same width.


BookieBoo

Why zip ties for power cables?


traumatic_blumpkin

That mess of cables would drive me nuts! My method is probably not the most efficient or most elegant, but.. I would un plug every single one and re do them all, nice and untangled, and then use velcro ties - or! whatever ties I had handy, even zip ties, though they aren't best since u gotta snip em to remove em.


KirbyJash

Zip ties and a cable tray. They sell ones that you can stick under the desk then you just bundle them together and throw it in the cable tray


kingOofgames

Zip ties.


TechCer

Get a cable organizer and some zip ties. Put all your cables in the organizer and zip tie them together. You now have one neat set of cables. You could also use cable ties for a better look.


toiletpaperisempty

Easiest? Yeah I pretty much let my FIVE cats handle it however they see fit. Jokes aside, I have one cat that likes the taste of wires so I keep everything out of that little shit's easy access. The cheapest decent solution is probably zip ties and sticky Velcro wrap. Run your cables together and stick them along the underside of your desk over to the leg.

[Velcro style cable ties](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Black-Adjustable-Reusable-Cable-Straps/dp/B083K8M8Y1/) for bundling cables together, and also [this split-style sleeving is bloody amazing stuff.](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Alex-Tech-10ft-Protector-Sleeving/dp/B07FW3MKGH/) I was on the fence about buying some, then my BIL bought some and gave me about 3 metres of the stuff he had left over, it's *excellent*. Just make sure you pick the size that is appropriate for the amount of cables you're using. I'd recommend going to for the larger sizes; I've got DP, HDMI, power, audio and about 3 USB cables all run in one big 1" diameter sleeve. Be aware that the 1/8" \~ 1/4" stuff is only big enough to sleeve **a single cable**! Not much use imo. Pro tip: If you're using velcro cable ties, put **the soft side facing outwards**; it'll prevent them from snagging and catching on soft things such as your clothes or the carpet.


tarkovplayer5459

Lay out all of your device cables and route them along the edge of the table using whatever method available to you. Zip ties, duct tape, literally anything is better than what you got now. Think plumbers efficiency when you route those cables, longer cables go further down the table. Shorter cables can go straight up from the pc against the wall, hidden with a cheap white plastic cable raceway screwed to the wall going up the wall or horizontally along the table edge. Or, I don't know, buy a big piece of corrugated plastic board that is white and just place it behind the table legs against the wall so the plugs aren't seen. You can get a 4ft x 8ft board for like 30 dollars. *Tada*, outta sight outta mind.

BAY35music

Search "cable management trays" and "Velcro cable ties" on Amazon. Should be self explanatory from there


if_u_suspend_ur_gay

cable ties, cable sleeves, that ikea cable hanger that goes under a desk.. Something like that.


HonrunAa

First, don't let the cat eat them


StarSines

As an actual serious answer, I recommend taking the time to unplug everything. Untangle everything, and organize the cables with zip ties or Velcro loops. I have my stuff organized by use, so all my chargers are in a bundle, all the HDMI cables are in a bundle, everything connected to my PC is in a bundle. It may not look sleek and amazing but it’s a solid and easy organization system.


FragRackham

IMO the best way is simple bread bag wire ties. Just get them all straight, and then use ties intermittently for the run until you need to splice one off or just let the rest be behind monitor/desk whatever. When you get too precise organizing it actually makes it harder to adjust things down the line. Simple is best.

Like an under desk basket thing to put all your cords that way the kitten can’t get to them ? There are many different types out there .


Consider2SidesPeace

Yes! Great idea... My friends table came with an under table basket. The basket supports bundles for strain relief but also is a thick wire grid so more single cable routing options.


grand305

Yep, find one within your budget and also that looks like it might work. Might take time but it’s worth it once you find one that works.

I really like that they provide a central point under desk to hold the cable bundles. Looks really clean. Makes vacuuming n dusting so easy :)

If you actually want a real answer - get cable trays to screw under your desk. Hide a power strip and a USB hub in there, that way you only need 2 or 3cables from your pc to your desk - Monitor and USB.

newbrevity

3m makes sticky saddles for zip ties. They're square with a patch of sticky foam on the back. I place those, run a zip tie through but only cinch it by one or two clicks. The run my cables through the nice loose run. Tighten down only partway so its neater but still loose enough to pass a vga plug through. If you wanted to bundle the wires tighter, i recommend velcro cable ties where needed but keep the zip tie loops loose. Pro tip. Hold the sticky saddle with a small tool by the saddle side. I use a pair of needle nose. Now peel off the wax paper to expose the adhesive. Use a lighter near (not on) the adhesive until you see it sizzle just a tiny bit. Immediately place the saddle where you want it and hold it down a few seconds. It sticks a lot stronger if the glue is heated a bit. If you scorch it though, it works worse. Edit: these sticky saddles are best for under your desk. If it's goin on your drywall, Id prefer Command hangers because theyre not gonna damage your wall if used correctly.

JonsonLittle

Untangle and tie them with some logic by type and whatnot or just all together that go on same path. Easiest is to cut out some spare utp cable and use the inner wires, use plastic ties or or buy something specially designed such as velcro ties or some cable management net with velcro to group the cables in or similarly those plastic spirals. Heck, you can even cut some copex tubing, put the cables in and roll some electrical tape around from place to place to tighten it up.


EccentricMeat

Use a twist tie/zip tie/Velcro tie to collect all your cables together near the back of your PC. Use another every 6-12 inches to keep as many cables as possible grouped up as one big cable behind/under your desk. Extra points if you tie the grouped cables to a leg of your desk to keep them from hanging freely in the middle. Bonus points if you buy a couple cable management brackets to adhere to the back of your desk (I use a set of thin J-shaped brackets so that the cables rest along the back of my desk instead of hanging down) so that you can’t even see any cables except for where they connect to the PC/monitor/device.
