Cable management refers to the distribution system of electrical power, data and communications cabling in home and office pertaining to cabling of computers, screens, telephones and computer networks.

Having proper cable management can ensure the safety and long life of all of your cables and electrical equipment. It greatly reduces the risk of fires and safety. Not to mention the unsightly look of messy cables everywhere and trying to figure out which one is which. People can get got up in them and trip, which could result in damaged equipment. When all your cables are organized and cleanly tucked away everything just becomes so much simpler. Suddenly replacing that cable can become a quick and simple job.

There are many ways to make cable management better. Add an extra level of professionalism and protection to your cable installation with Expando, Heat Shrink, Cable ties, Loom and Labels.

Expando – Expands and contracts to fit your cable or bundle of cables. Expand it to insert your cable(s), and pull it tight to contract it. Looks great and protects. Fire Rated Expando is for In-Wall use. Non Fraying Expando resists strand unwrapping for a neat look.
Heat Shrink – Cover up your solder joints, splices or areas of conductor or connector you want to protect electrically.3 to 1 heat shrink contracts up to 50% more than standard heat shrink.
Loom – Keep your cables together, hidden and protected with Wire loom or split loom, it’s like a mini conduit.
Cable Ties – Keep your cables together and organized, attach them to something with a tie with screw loop. Reusable ties use Velcro for easy adjustment of tightness, relocation or simple re usability.
Labels – Labels act make installation easy and replacing components a breeze. Professional labels will last as long as the cable.

Another great DIY solution found on the internet is to recycle old bulk CD or DVD spindle cases. First, cut two holes (near the base) of the plastic cover. It is best if the holes are opposite each other because you will be feeding the cables in one side and out the other. Once you have the plastic cover prepared, wrap the cables around the spindle base, replace the cover and you are done. This is particularly helpful for organizing longer cables.
Whether it is in the home or the business, poor cable management not only looks unsightly – it can cause a serious risk to safety as well as inconvenient damage.
