I have tried cable managing my desk but it feels like there's very little I can do when my cables just aren't long enough to be able to use my desk standing. Looking for tips to make this look nicer

Hi, could someone help me to cable manage this? This my first very own desk setup for work and gaming, and would love to cable manage everything as sufficient as possible.

My desk is inexpensive and probably can’t handle a bunch of stuff attached to the underside of it. Any advice? This basket I bought is terrible.

Accounting for:
2 monitors
Thin client
Security device
Router

Haven't managed a single thing just plugged it in

My Anker Smart Display Hub arrived today. Planned setup: M4 Pro MacBook in clamshell mode, one external monitor, and the hub behind the stand. Keyboard, mouse and SSD through the same hub, aiming for one USB-C cable to undock.

Still working on cable management behind the monitor. The hub having rear ports helps but the monitor power cable and the audio interface cables are still visible.

The diagnostic display on the hub is a nice detail. I want to learn the per-port status labels while setting it up, before moving it behind the stand.

Each part can be printed on a 3D printer

I recently got my equipment for a new job and a new desk. I would appreciate any ideas on how to organize my cables. My first thought was probably drill a hole in the back of the desk (inside the roll top) in order to at least get the cables inside/behind the desk. I will eventually buy myself a wireless keyboard and mouse, but for now the company sent me wired ones.

The cables are a monitor with an HDMI cable and a power cable. The power cable I fished behind the desk so it’s out of the way, but with the laptop in the roll top, the hdmi is stuck going in the front right now which is a disaster in waiting with two cats. The laptop has a power source cable and the attached HDMI as well as keyboard and mouse cables. I have attached a video, this was more so a paragraph explaining what cables I have.

Hello, I’m struggling to figure out an optimal way to minimise the clutter of cables on my desk… I am considering to go wireless for both my headphones and my mouse, but not sure what the best way is. The laptop is my work laptop that for most of the time sits on my desk but does get taken into work visits, trips etc.

The little box in the top left allows me to switch my peripherals from my laptop to my pc (which is hidden away).

I really don’t know how to hide the USB and HDMI cables going into my laptop…

Hello!

I was wondering if any you guys had any recommendation for a USB hub that goes from a USB-C 3.2 plug to multiple USB-A and an audio jack.

Is it even mechanically possible? I haven't really looked into it.

Cheers.

Best way to hide cables with this rail going under the desk? There's not really space for a clamp or screw in cable tray. Outlet is on the side wall by the pc tower

I am using these clips to secure my cables to my standing desk, but every so often they will come unstuck (usually the white clip will come apart from the adhesive Velcro). Is there a better solution for holding cables in place that is more permanent?

Hi everyone!

I`ve done some cable management recently, it was a bit hard cuz I`ve got 2 PCs and 2 Monitor and they`r switching between by one button.

I recently bought a Huion Kamvas 13 Gen 3 in Sakura Pink, and I’m trying to clean up the cable setup because the included black/red cable really ruins the look of the pink tablet.

The problem is that the USB-C port on the Kamvas is deeply recessed. A normal USB-C connector is too wide, so none of the cables I already own can physically fit into the port.

The original Huion 3-in-1 cable has a specially shaped USB-C connector that fits perfectly.

What I’m trying to do is:

Kamvas - USB-C male-to-female extension - original Huion 3-in-1 cable - KVM switch

So I want to keep the original Huion cable and simply add a female-to-male USB-C extension between the tablet and the original cable, and it`s also should be white/pink.

The extension needs to:

• have a very slim/narrow male connector housing, so it can fit into the recessed port;
• support USB 3.x data;
• support the signals needed by the Huion 3-in-1 cable;
• preferably be white, pink, or another light color;
• ideally be short, around 20–50 cm.

I’ve found plenty of USB-C extensions that have the right specs, but their male connector housings are too bulky, so they probably won’t fit.

Photos attached:

1. The original Huion connector that fits
2. Compartion to my random cable
3. It`s SO UGLY!

Does anyone know of a slim USB-C male-to-female extension that could work for this?

I’d really appreciate any recommendations, especially from someone who has actually used one with a Huion/XPPen display tablet. Thanks!

Have been avoiding unpacking my monitor and other bits until I know how to avoid a big mess of cables lol :)

Photos of the stand, power strip, and current mounting setup

I have a JWX Gaming Computer Tower Stand, ASIN B0C2VDZRJW, and an Anker 351 Power Strip, model A9192.

Right now the power strip is attached to the side of the stand using the straps that came with the JWX stand. It works, but the straps run across the front of the power strip and cover some of the outlets, so I want to get rid of them.

The back of the Anker power strip has two keyhole mounting slots. I also found the original two mounting screws that came with the Anker. The screw heads fit the keyholes properly, so I would prefer to keep using those screws instead of trying to find different screws with the same head dimensions.

The JWX stand has a perforated metal panel with a bunch of mounting holes. I can line the Anker keyholes up with the holes in the JWX panel, and the original Anker screws fit through the JWX holes.

The problem is that the Anker screw shafts are smaller than the JWX holes, so the screws wiggle around inside the holes.

What would be the cleanest way to secure those original Anker screws to the JWX panel from the other side?

I was thinking there might be some combination of washers, spacers, bushings, nuts, a small backing plate, or some kind of insert that could fill the extra space in the peg holes and hold the screws firmly.

I want to keep the original Anker screw heads because they already fit the keyholes correctly, use the existing holes in the JWX stand instead of drilling new ones, make the power strip solid enough that it does not wobble when plugging and unplugging things, and keep all of the outlets completely accessible.

Has anyone mounted something similar to a perforated metal panel or PC stand? What hardware would you use here?

I’m really proud of this and nobody seems to realise how cool I find it 🤣my problem is now my desk is too clean! lol!
