Having the right cable management supplies and using them properly is a vital step toward protecting your expensive cables and wires. Stepping on, rolling over or making sharp bends on cable can induce internal reflection and snap fibers, reducing the effectiveness of your electronic equipment and networks. Tangled cables are distracting, confusing and time-consuming--all of which hurt your bottom line.

You don't have to risk broken fibers and damaged cables; finding the right cable management product is as simple as identifying the problem cables and choosing from a variety of cable management systems. Here are a few points that can narrow down your search:

1. Do you need an in-desk solution for PC cable management?

2. Do you need cable management equipment for surplus or stored cables and wires?

3. Do you need wire cable management in an area with vehicle traffic or high-volume foot traffic?


Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Click your way to PC cable management


Is there an uncontrolled tangle of wires and cables under your desk? Do your IT techs spend extra time sorting through the mess? Streamline your space management and employee time by installing in-desk solutions for PC cable management.

I recommend: J-hooks and desk cable grommets are your best in-desk cable management options. Both can be installed to help route and store cables safely away from line of sight and tangling danger.

Add value with cable management equipment and supplies


Whether you're tucking away unneeded cables or offering a cable management solution for rented or exchanged gear, it's vital to keep them neatly stored and safely out of the way. Having the right cable management solution both manages clutter and clearly identifies your equipment at the same time.

I recommend: Cord-Lox offers a buckle and grommet series that is perfect for hanging storage or rental equipment out of the way. Their rivet series is a good way to add the extra value of cable management supplies to your rental equipment while permanently identifying it at the same time. Once attached, it cannot be removed.

Get the right cable management equipment to keep from getting run over


Sometimes you can't avoid routing cables through areas with high levels of foot or even vehicular traffic. If you don't have the right cable management system in place, you're going to find yourself replacing expensive cables on a regular basis.

I recommend: The Checkers line of industrial safety products has cable management supplies that withstand vehicle and wheelchair traffic. Electriduct offers a line of light duty covers designed to withstand foot traffic, medium duty for foot and cart traffic, and heavy duty options for vehicle traffic.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Leave your cable management products connected to the cable when it's in use; this way you don't have to worry about small inventory items walking away on their own.
