I have 3 IKEA plastic, transparent bins in different sizes.
- One is used for high voltage stuff (power extenders, power cables, electrical switches, etc. basically anything related to 240v).
- One for low power cables (usb cables, audio cables, hdmi cables, etc). Things there are, mainly, stored inside Ikea ziplock bags, categorized (I have a ziplock for USB a to USB a, one for USB a to USB b, etc).
- One for hardware (smart home sensors I dont currently use, modem, etc).
Those are for long term storage, infrequent use items. Near my desk, I keep a drawer where I store frequently used items such as external HDD, batteries, and one cable of each needed type (mainly USB C to USB C, USB A to USB micro A, and Apple crap cables). This is mainly so I won't have to go over the bins every time I want to connect an external HDD.
I try to go over my stuff once every month or two, and sell / donate / give away anything I don't use any more. I don't see a point to hoard items.
