Your desktop shouldn’t cause you stress. But if you have a ton of cables getting in your way, chances are you start to feel frustrated by the end of the day. With products like Sugru on the market, the days of stray and inconveniently placed cables are behind us. In this post, I’ll show you a few ways that I streamlined my desktop’s cables.

Before getting to work, you can see how messy my desk was. Underneath the desk was really the worst of it, especially since my feet could easily get caught on a cable. To start, here’s what I grabbed.

1. DVI-D Male Dual-Link Cables

2. USB 2.0 A Male to A Female Active Extension Cable

3. 3.5mm Stereo Male to Female Extension Cable

4. 6 Port USB Desktop Charger

5. 1 1/4 Inch Magnetic Bridle Rings (3)

6. LEGO mini-fig

7. 1 Inch Cable Tie Mount Pad

8. LEGO bricks

9. Super strong magnets

10. Sugru

11. Nylon cable ties

To move my tower from the center of my desk to the right side, I grabbed longer DVI cables. I also used Sugru to mount a USB hub to my cubicle

ShowMeCables and our network cabling installation partners from INC Installs recently built out a new server room. We ran Cat6 cable for the main backbone. Everything was housed in two Middle Atlantic racks. We used ECore LED patch panels to connect the wire and used a variety of cable management products, including cable ties, Velcro, rear horizontal management, cable ladder and Neat Patch patch panels. Our installation team completed the project in a timely manner and did an amazing job. The installation made it easy to administer the network and keep it running. If you need help with a build out, contact our partners at INC Installs. Or, if you prefer a more DIY approach, you can stock up on materials at ShowMeCables.

Spring is a time for refreshing and rejuvenating our spaces. And while the oven could probably use a clean and your blinds really do need to be washed, it’s important not to forget about the pieces of technology that we use daily. Our phones, tablets and computers are our lifelines to the Internet, meaning we use them a lot. Here are 9 tips for keeping your gadgets clean and organized so that you can avoid getting sick and improve your functionality.

Tip 1) Recycle Unused Items

Do you have any outdated tech lying around that you know you’ll never use again? Or, maybe you have older stuff that you wish you could still use. Cleaning out the things that you don’t use will free up some office space! If you just can’t part with something out of date, chances are you can find adapters or converters to make it work. Otherwise, search online for a local place to recycle old computers and other gadgets. Before donating or recycling, be sure to delete all personal information and remove any batteries.

HDMI is the cable de jour for home theater, PC display, DSLR and other consumer electronic devices. It provides a convenient way to connect hi-def video and audio in the same cable.
