I am looking for some advice on what to use for cable management on a solid oak desk.
Ideally I would prefer not to have to screw holes or brackets to the desk.
I was looking at the magnetic stuff from LTTStore, but my desk is all wood, with just two legs being metal, so it wont really work.
Something like these may have been ideal, but they dont ship to the UK (or at least not through Amazon Under Desk Mesh Cable Management – 36 inch Cable Manager Tray for Cord Power Strip -No Drill Cable Management - Safe Wire Management Net for Desks, Office, and Home (Black): Amazon.co.uk: DIY & Tools
I was wondering what the postive / negatives are if I were to only have USB C > USB C cables and then a variety of different adapators e.g. USB C to Mini USB. Cables are used for data transfer (harddrives) and charging electrical items. Understand there's definetly going to be drawbacks but I want to understand what they might be, and if there's work arounds.
My desk is able to raise and lower between standing and sitting, but i’m no sure how to manage the cables and make them look tidy without everything having either way too much slack or getting unplugged when it moves. I don’t want to put my desktop on my desk because i’m afraid of it falling off.
Hello!
I am overemployed and the cords under my desk have gotten out of hand. I have 4 monitors and 3 laptops. I plan to buy the Uplift L-Shaped Desk in the coming weeks.
I’d like to hire someone to manage all the cords under my desk and advise me on what additional equipment I should buy. Please help!
Received my equipment for my new job and it feels like there is a lot of cable clutter going on here with everything being wired. The only idea I can come up with is a wooden monitor riser to hide the cables going down the back, and mounting the monitor just to reduce visual clutter with the stand. Any advice is greatly appreciated! I think me and my adhd will function much better without the cable clutter if possible 😅 Thank you!
I have been wanted to add lights and a light bar to my monitor and what bothers me is the amount of wires that just show. To "cable manage", I bought a hub which connects to the usb a port on my monitor and connects all my peripherals so that everything looks somewhat neat or just a place where I can plug in usb sticks and etc. Right now, I have a couple things connected to the hub like a webcam (that i haven't used yet), a lightbar, my keyboard, my mouse, and just a charger for my ring. I'm planning to buy the lights to hook onto the back of my monitor, so I'm not sure on how to organize everything.
Peripherals are the first part of my problem since it's the first thing you see. The goal is to make it look clean like the posts you would see on insta
Is there any company in Atlanta offering professional cable management services? Or a SME here in ATL willing to do a brand new desk setup (all hardware already purchased: multiple computers, a few mounted screens, might need KVM).
Figured I’d give it a shot to ask in this sub
I have all my cables running to a power bar mounted under the desk but I'm looking for ideas on how to clean the cables connected to power bar. TYIA
So I got a Huanuo 35” mount but when I was putting my DecoGear 35” on it they weren’t lining up. It saids that with both products are VESA compatible but yet nothing is working
Hi, I tried some 3M cable clips and so-called "strong" adhesive tapes from Amazon but often they cannot keep the power extension bars, large AC adapters and thick cables (about 0.8cm in diameter) from falling underneath the desk. Any good suggestion?

Both Lian Li and AMD builds, both with vertically mounted GPUs.
For the desks, I bought butcher block, stained white for my wife's side and black for my side then applied polyurethane , then installed the tabletops so they are floating. I did the same for shelves for knickknacks and PC towers. I mounted the monitors to the wall and ran all the PC wires through the wall to the monitors (no more wires!), also bringing some USBs down below the desktop to install USB desk grommets for easy USB access from the tabletop. The leds are controled by WLED ( open source software that can be installed on an esp chip) that power on and off with our PCs via the home network and an HTTP batch file in the shutdown scripts. There's led strips on each shelf , behind the monitors and under the desk. I also put in 2 govee smart color changing recessed lights ( dont mind the patch in the ceiling it was before I sanded and painted the ceiling ) , and a singular blue led spot light behind my frostmourn sword for back lighting. As always all wires hidden in the walls. Oh, and how can I forget about mini fridge for all the claws!
My wife uses her area to work from home as well. I was able to incorporate her work laptop on the shelf with a laptop dock and KVM mounted below the desk. This way, she can use both monitors for her laptop as well as switch her peripherals between her laptop and gaming PC with the push of a button. I am pleased with the results.

How would you go about cleaning up this birds nest? Theres Govee Al sync box, HDMI cables, xbox cables, tv cables and charger station cables. I also plan on putting a ps4 here soon. Im open to some changes. The Gaming sync box from Govee stays in the center because of its side bar lights cable length limitations.
Hey! I'm currently reworking my desk setup and got myself a charging dock with 6 ports. I'll have different cables for each port, and want it close to my work setup.
Was thinking about getting a cable holder, and was thinking if anyone has any solution for making the slack cable go under the desk aswell? Seems sad to have 6 cables dangling around, when I cleaned up the rest.
Thanks!
so for a while i have had a support for my power strip under the desk and am looking for a cable conductor tube (idk if that's the correct name) or something like that so that the travel of the cables connected to my computer to the support does not look so dirty. also some type of adhesive or clip that allows me to "glue" the cables under the table cus the methods i have tried easily come off. i have tried this type of tube that am going to attach in the post but it does not convince me since it is not so flexible and it is quite wide.. also the method of putting the cables inside is quite horrible for me.
(need to notice that english is not my native language so i do not know if i have written something wrong)
Hi, I live in a rental house and we have very limited main plugs 😭 This is what I'm dealing with at the moment. Will having a cable box help? We are using a lot of plug converters because we live abroad and that adds up the the height of some of these plus like the Macbook charger, I am worried that the cable box might not close properly. Any tips is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
