Cable management


Is there anything out there that could help me with cable management? I have powercords and interconnects and whatever else is back there, behind my rack, hanging all over the place, and I really need to find a way to control it.

Any ideas?

I went to Radio Shack and bought some of their Velcro strips that are made for tieing cables together. It is Velcro hook on one side and loop on the other so you can wrap it on to it's self. You can cut it to any length you need. Also use the hooks to tie it to or what I did was mount a shelf bracket strip vertically on each side of my cabinet with spacers behind so I could loop the velcro around the strip and wires to secure it. By using both sides of the cabinet you can run signal on one side and power on the other.
I agree with Theo, velcro is easy, neat and very reusable. McMaster-Carr carries rolls of every width and length at good prices (1/2" x 75' $15.50). Use foam pipe insulation to space cables away from each other, both power and signal...

Lots of possible and good looking solutions here:

I personally use the velcro tubes.

i checked out the mockett page...interesting, but a bit too much 'Sharper Image' for me. if you waant wire isolation, go to your local hardware store and buy yourself some tubes of foam insulllation used for water pipes. Run your wires through these. It costs only pennies/ foot. Great isolation.
