Cable Management Tips and Tricks


I’ve never really came across much information on cable management.  Specifically I would like to know how to properly deal with excess cable length. Both with interconnects and power cables. I usually coil my extra length and secure with velcro. I’m not sure if this is proper, but not sure what else to do with it.  Also would love to hear any other tips people have.

Cable art.. It is truly an art form.. Like a sand box and rakes.. I use 1, 2 and 3 meter cables. There are 7 speaker boxes, Two mains, Two MB Columns and 3 double 12" OB servo sub plates.

Preamp, two phono pre amps, streamer, SACD, RtR, active XO, Active EQ and 7 power amps. There is a lot of cabling..

I keep everything at least 1" apart. I only have TWO places where cables cross of all those speaker cables, ICs and PC. I cross at a 90. There is ZERO floor noise because of that simple rule.. They are off the floor with gummy puffer (ear plugs) wood/silicone/wood/silicone M/W cable lifter. 1.5" thick 4" tall with a 3x6x3/4 thick base. Nothing fancy, painted black..

There is HAIR, dust, cob webs, bugs, and everything else in this house in the spring, summer, and fall months.. It is a chore to keep it somewhat clean. I'm the only cleaner here.. Cable lifters are a must..

I have a rabbit and a dog. I think the DOG takes the rabbit hair on purpose into the music rooms.. Like a MOP and drop hair collector with 4 legs and a VET bill.. LOL

Regards..
Do not coil. Route in curves avoiding having them parallel. They should all be spaced apart, and where they must come close try and have them at right angles. Not the end of the world if it happens but avoid whenever possible.
