How to Fix a Rats Nest of Cables at a Workstation?
I have a ball of AC cables and adapters under my desk..
+ video cables, USB cables, keyboard etc...
I'm using 14 power bar outlets (from 3 power bars) to power up my
workstation + other gizmos.
It's unfortunate a ball of wires hasn't become trendy home decor :)
Anybody have some tidy solutions?
A friend of mine mounts the socket strips on the underneath of the desktop. UK
plugs don't fall out of course, not sure how yours would fare.
I do that, too. They don't fall out.
US plugs do come out if you give the cord a good yank. Do yours?
The cord exits at right angles to the pins so that's not a problem.
Problem? Your plugs seem to be missing this valuable feature. I bet
you have to walk clear across the room to unplug a vacuum cleaner.
Not many mains
plugs do that do they ?
We have both kinds, but straight is more common.
Here's a quick overview of the UK plug and sockets.

Looks very safe and very klunky. And cats will still chew on the
cords.
