It's kind of a W.C. Fields movie -- I know where every cable is. The most frequently used are immediately at hand, like the 12 inch bananas which go from power supply to DVM's, or the banana to mini-grabber, bnc to mini-grabber etc:

I use the Pomona holders as well. They're a bit pricey for what they are but they are very good. I have mine mounted on a piece of 1x2 fir so I can get them anchored to the wall studs.

Tie racks! I have two, they work great. Cheap at thrift stores, too.
I have one like this and one with wood pegs.

Exactly. I've got one screwed to a cabinet door and the other cable-tied to a wire rack/shelf unit.
Lets just say there's a cupboard door I am not able to close at the moment... I think I should up my game.

To get an impression (my favourite):
I especially like the trouble light at mid picture (post 9)--- seems conveniently placed.
I built a rack a long time ago, and of course, already one week after, it was full and crammed of cables. 🤣🙁
Today, it is a total "spaghetti mess"... I won't post a picture ! 😱
I should rewise all this, but as always here : it is a matter of place... So I have to think seriously about it. 🤔

True to my word I can report that the SCS19 is good quality, powder coated steel I think, alternating narror and wide slots, 19 in total and 30cm longLets just say there's a cupboard door I am not able to close at the moment... I think I should up my game.
