I use empty rolls of toilet paper (the inner cardboard part) as cable ties. They bundle ~2-3 short & thin cables and nicely fit in a drawer in upright position. This way, you can easily spot the connector types from bird‘s eye perspective. Super cheap and a fun way to put something useless to a good use.
For longer and/or thicker cables like ethernet and power, velcro works fine. Get a bunch of semi transparent PP boxes and label them.
- soneil 2y agoThis is how I store my one-off, unicorn, proprietary, or just "retro enough that I don't need 50 of them" cables. Fold the cable around the width of my palm, then stick it in a TP tube, stored end-up in a drawer with both connectors facing me. Very searchable, very retrievable, very cheap/available, and stops them coalescing into a lovecraftian tubmleweed.
