cable organizer?

[TroelsM]

How do you store all the different test-cables for electronics? There is scope-probes, DVM-wires, custom-wires, banana-plug-wires, RCA, Phono, and the list goes on.

I like the solution where they all hang on the wall, but that takes up a lot of wall-space.

Whats the clever solution?

Kind regards TroelsM

Hi TroelsM ,

have you tried a cheap wall mounted coat hanger - the type where there is a wooden back plate that screws on to the wall and has 4 or 5 two-pronged coat hooks.

Cheers

Mike

Can't avoid using the wall space, I use a metal rod and "S" hooks available at any kitchen wares store.

@scottjoplin: Clever, but larger than I need. I would prefer something that packs away, but I realize that it may not be practical.

I'm leaning towards this kind of thing. Ugly, but I think it would work:

I have used top quality Electric Cord Organizer box to store all different types of electric cords. This box is made of quality high density steel, anti-scratch coating, and fire-retardant steel. Compatible with long high and short surge protectors, see photos for details about the dimensions. Fits most standard 6- 12 outlet power strips.

I hang the most used ones from hooks on the wall or around a horizontal bar and yes, it´s a mess.

Depending on how you'd like them bundled (or not) - some of zip tie holders with releasable ties or even twist ties could work. You could use one per "bundle" and just hang them, or two or more per bundle to keep them nice and straight if that's your jam and depending on how your bench is set up.

Something like this...

I can never find my cables unless I leave them on the floor in a messy tangle. Turns out if I organise, I forget where everything is.
