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.

Really good stuff here and I made my own lifters copied the Cardas wood blocks. 
I also had seen these when I was down in Mexico when they poured the concrete floors for our new plant several years ago. Bet they would work.

@nonoise that is a good idea and heat-shrink tubing would be less bulky. Just saying….

Yup. I've been using it for years now and it works great when the cables touch at right angles giving them enough separation and not contributing to any skin effect.

All the best,

Just tried it with some heavy wall heat shrink tube and it worked.

Thanks for the tip @nonoise. @nonoise.

My pleasure. I wish I can take all the credit for it but it was passed down by some member quite awhile ago so I'm just paying it forward. 👍

All the best,
