How to cable manage a desk?

[DocBrown]

What are some tips that you guys have picked up on while building your desks about all those blasted cables (that are not inside the PC like a wired keyboard). How do you make it look all nice and fancy? And what would you do with a power extension cord? Thanks!

tape/tie them under the desk or to the back of it

use Velcro ties, clips for cables and take time, lots of time

use lots of clips and Velcro to make straight lines and smooth turns. there should be nowhere the wire is coiling, and there should be nowhere the wire is visible where it is not directly heading to a destination.

if you have an extension cord, i normally stick it on the back of the desk board (if it has it) or you could always stick it to the under side of the table so its tucked away. as for wires, i try to make straight lines by velcroing them together to make it look tidy.

pick yourself up one of these:

own one personally, and it's the best investment for cable management ever

also, mounting a power strip on the bottom of your desk is solid

Whatever u use, dont use these shits under the table because they come off quick https://www.amazon.co.uk/d/Wire-Cable-Organisers/BELUGA-Cable-Clips-Management-System/B014SOX1PY/ref=sr_1_76?ie=UTF8&qid=1487636045&sr=8-76&keywords=adhesive+cable+management

I recommend Command Strips hooks. You can get awesome little clear hooks that stick to pretty much anything. I've used them for Christmas lights and ethernet cords. The ones I have hold the cords really well so that they don't fall out, in the past I have even used them to run cords along the ceiling for some projects and with them being clear they are easy to hide.
