Here's the issue i have with some of these recommendations:\r\n\r\n* The Ikea Metal Braket works well but still leaves cables in a giant bird's nest under your desk. Better than nothing ,but still unsightly\r\n* The Box that you put on the floor hides the nest of wires but still means you get wires running up the wall from the floor to the hole.\r\n\r\nMy personall recommendation is as follows:\r\n\r\nGet a Cable Raceway that goes under your desk like [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Cable-Raceway-Black-Length/dp/B002DNM42O/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1528228562\u0026amp;sr=8-4\u0026amp;keywords=cable+raceway+amazon)  \r\nUse double sided tape to affix the transformer to the bottom of your desk or the wall behind it","subreddit_name":"CableManagement","author":"IndestructibleNewt"},{"body":"Get yourself a cable raceway, here's a link to a nice and affordable one on Amazon.\r\n\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002DNM42O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;psc=1\r\n\r\nIt attaches to the back of your desk via adhesive. Just route all those dangling cables through it and off to one side and you're golden. You may have to cut it to size, but it's just made of thin PVC. If you don't have a saw handy then a kitchen knife could honestly probably work in a pinch.","subreddit_name":"battlestations","author":"t3ht0ast3r"},{"body":"https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Cable-Raceway-Black-Length/dp/B002DNM42O/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8\u0026amp;qid=1526477158\u0026amp;sr=8-7\u0026amp;keywords=cable+channel\r\n\r\nstick one of these on the back.

Got to say I am really impressed at how much it holds and how well it hides everything.

","subreddit_name":"battlestations","author":"SectorZachBot"},{"body":"Is it possible to move the router and cable modem to another location?  If you have another room already wired with coax and power, and you can run a single network cable out to your office, then you could mount a port switch under your desk and split up the network cables from there.  Of course, they wouldn't be on the UPS any more, which may be a problem depending on your requirements.  Then you'd be down to the power stuff.  The power strip shouldn't need too much ventilation, so it could be mounted under your desk as well, and you'd be down to one cable.\r\n\r\nIf none of that seems feasible, then maybe buy a couple of adhesive cable raceways (like [this one](https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Cable-Raceway-Black-Length/dp/B002DNM42O)) and try to corral as much as possible.","subreddit_name":"declutter","author":"rshriot"},{"body":"Velcro together any cables that are going between the same place, e.g. monitor cables going between monitors and PC. For peripherals, if one of your monitors has a USB hub, you can plug all of your USB stuff there.\r\n\r\nFor the hanging excess cable, wrap them up and tie them with zip ties.
