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.

Great thread, lots of useful info here. Whenever I have cables crossing, and sometimes it can’t be avoided, inserting a piece of EFI/RFI cancelling material can be quite useful, too. Especially in the digital domain it’s preferable to use short cables over avoiding them crossing

Two basic rules: 1.power cords and signal carrying cords as far apart as possible. 

                           2. Whenever neede, only cross at 90 degree angles

 

And if you feel randy: use RFI/EMI paper when you feel the need to separate.
