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.

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. 👍

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.

I think as long as they're not touching, running ICs in parallel won't present a problem. If they do come close to touching, use this like I mentioned earlier.

You can cut it to any length you need.

I let the cables fall where they may and when they always do when they meet, try to make sure they cross at right angles. It helps to use some cut down piece of foam insulation that's used in electrical pipe conduits that you can get at any hardware store.

Oh, and I keep by cables up off the floor using cheap measures. Nothing fancy is needed.
