Cable Management Ideas for your Office
Having a clutter-free office and desk space not only feels good, but it can also help boost productivity! Modern offices today often include a computer or laptop, a monitor or dual monitors, a printer, keyboard, mouse, desk lamp, and chargers. The cord clutter not only looks messy but can lead to brain drain. Let’s take a look at some cable management ideas for your office that can improve your efficiency and tidy up your workspace.- Go Wireless when Possible: A wireless mouse, keyboard, or printer can all help to minimize those pesky cords. Just be ready with extra rechargeable batteries or a charging station as needed so you can stay connected.
- Power Strip Placement: Find a central spot for your power strip that is concealed and out of the way. Many people like to get their power strip off their floor by mounting it on the back or bottom of their desks.
- Label your Tech Cables: Just like your entertainment center, your desk and computer have their own little cable community. But, they all look the same and it’s easy to unplug the wrong cord. Especially if you have a limited number of USB and HDMI ports, but several devices to swap in and out, labeling your cables will save you time and headaches. Wrap-It’s cable management solutions make it easy for you to label everything so that there is no doubt which cords to use.
