(Part 2) Best cable raceways according to redditors
We found 775 Reddit comments discussing the best cable raceways. We ranked the 113 resulting products by number of redditors who mentioned them. Here are the products ranked 21-40. You can also go back to the previous section.
Sure, so yeah, mostly just take your time. Zip ties are the ideal for stuff you're sure won't be moving (use wirecutters to chop off the extra length after securing it) but the velcro straps that come with e.g. a PSU are better for most other things.
Under the desk I'm using a couple of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y1DVNQD
Really like em and makes it easy to add more cables to the mix without redoing everything.
Zipties suck.
I've been using Velcro cable ties for a few years now. It's easy and cheap to pull out or ad in another cable. I find it helps more than you think because it reduces the friction required to make it look right.
I also use sleeves like this and this, a few wraps, and raceways. For raceways, I have this, but I'm not 100% happy with it and may switch to a basket one of these days.
I also see a lot of cables that are way too large for the space. Pick up a few short cables and remove that bulk. You don't need to go crazy with this, just pick the worst offenders.
Beyond that, focus on cleaning up the points where cables join or split. A loop hook or brace in the right spot can really clean things up. Try to have a single point where cables go to the window/closet. Have a single point at the desk that all cables going into the PC go through.
Really not much else to show than this. Monitor wires and light cables go thru the wall, down the wall, out a hole right below the desk table, right into the computer tower.
Keyboard/mouse/mic/phone charger cables come thru small hole I drilled into each desk right behind the keyboard. Wires go inside, then taped on the roof of the desk, then go down to back of PCs where they are plugged in.

You could always mount it and get wire covers running below it like this
For your situation I would suggest something like this:

You can bring your power strips up into the rack behind the desk and that way have only 2-3 cables going up. then you just tie up nicely the cables in there so they dont spill out.

I bought these cable raceways on Amazon. For $15 they work really well:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07B7KZ6QT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I made the mistake of buying the single long piece version at first, only to realize my monitor stand’s clamp was in the way. The ones linked above are smaller pieces you can string together (with a break for your monitor stand clamp).
Since you can't screw anything into the desk, here's what I would do:
Grab some of these while they're on sale
Then grab some 3M Command Strips to hold up some sort of cable raceway like this (Although you can probably find something cheaper than this particular one at Lowes or Home Depot.)
Or you could just buy a few of these
Or a cable box like this. Personally, I'd go with the box and velcro strips, since your tower is so close to the outlet. Unless you plan to relocate it.
But most importantly for college dorm life: 3M command strips are your friend for almost everything.

I had a pile of the keystone jacks from a previous purchase a couple years ago so I did not have to get a whole lot of them. The toslink keystone jack has a issue of popping out which is solved using a zip tie to hold it in.

I think they are these star tech ones.
I dig that set up!! One recommendation would be to add some corner cord management. Your set up looks too clean to have those cords hanging.
https://www.amazon.com/Small-Corner-Cable-Raceway-1075/dp/B002DO172Q
Why? Get something like: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-Horizontal-Finger-Management-CMDUCT2U/dp/B00O63LWW2/
and maybe a plate or a brush for the front, and let your equipment do the rest.

​
We use these, We have a bunch of the 2 inch and 4 inch cable manegement offset bars, along with the no offset. Not cheap, but worth it for our builds.
You can but it makes it harder. If you don't want to do that, then get a corner cable run. Then cut to length.
https://www.amazon.com/Small-Corner-Duct-Cable-Raceway/dp/B002DO172Q
since no one is giving suggestions on how to cable manage, ill help out.
use velcro straps to help run the cables along the posts going up the desk and entertainment center

if you dont want to use the boxes and have them sit on the floor, you could mount the power strip under your desk using 3m adhesive tape.

use these raceways for routing cables up walls, and for the power strip cables that need to go from the wall plug to the power strip

and use these raceways to run the cables under the desk to your peripherals. cut them as needed to fit, or just make sure to leave gaps for the cables to leave the raceway and not sag

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071CHHZHR/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_i3SSCbRX0YPD0
I found and ordered this one
LABELING: I label the plug ends of every plug (I often use a P-touch labeler, either by wrapping it around the plug itself or by wrapping it around the cord right next to the plug. (if the other end is also a plug, like HDMI cables, it gets labeled as well)
​
That way I can tell before I unplug them which is which.
​
BUNDLING: I sometimes will fold a cord back on itself and then bundle it. Either with a cable tie, or with those double-sided hook-and-loop (Velcro) cable ties.
That takes up the slack and keeps lots of loose cord from flopping around and getting tangles.
Plan your bundles so that the bundle itself falls where you want it; my vote is just a little bit below the underside of the desk (so your blue cord should rise straight up to the desk, and then bundled once it gets there)
You can get cable-tie anchors (Home Depot, Amazon, probably any electronics store) to attach to the underside of the desk (they are stick-on, but there are ones you can drive a screw through the center, or nail in from the sides), and then loop your cable tie through it to hold the cable in place.
​
BASKET: There are also under-desk baskets that you can lay the bundled cables in. I've seen people get those white wire baskets for flatware (or a wire dishrack, or under-shelf basket) from the kitchen store, and use cup hooks to attach it.
But there are pro versions. This one attaches to the side of the desk; this one hooks over the back of the desk; this one is screwed to the underside of the desk. Amazon has lots of different styles, including some that are solid instead of wires, though since wires can get warm, this wouldn't be good unless it's got decent airflow (like the one at the link.
These will let you ease the strain on the plugs and also let you lay the bundles of wires in them to keep them contained.
​
​
RACEWAYS or CORD COVERS: A raceway is a plastic or metal channel that the cord can lie in; some of them will hold more than one cord. They're especially useful if the cord will be exposed and unsightly, or exposed and vulnerable (to being stepped on, or snagged or even just likely to flop around) There are stick-on ones, but you can attach some with screws and nails. Home Depot has some, and of course online places.
The blue cord could go in a raceway up toward the desk, then be bundled and the bundle placed in an under-desk basket/shelf.
​
Here's an interesting kit. But it might require dismantling what you have, which is annoying. Installing a basket under the desk to place the bundles of excess cord in is probably easier.
One of these maybe?

wish I had photos of the little get-up in my closet for you. I've got a basic 4-outlet battery backup powering my ISP modem, my router, managed 24 port switch, and the seagate single-drive NAS we use.
one day i'd like to get one a bit bigger so it can also support the pi server that's also sitting on that shelf and the POE injectors for my APs.
raceway tracks on amazon could help, https://www.amazon.com/Raceway-Alritz-Organizer-Management-Computers/dp/B07GVCC93B/ref=sr_1_10?crid=29XRB6HD6430C&keywords=raceway+cable+management&qid=1556946561&s=gateway&sprefix=raceway+%2Caps%2C243&sr=8-10

Really nice setup!
ooof, that bend radius on the fiber is not great and will cause attenuation. If you want to maintain proper bend radius use lacer bars for the fiber. Not the horizontal cable managers and especially not Paduit's 2" ones.

I've nearly finished the Sketchup model of this, but I have a couple questions:
For the front panel:
For the back panel:
Misc questions:
Last but not least, THANK YOU for posting this.
This is why they make raceways. These are just for freeform systems where you have boxes to interconnect and want to have some wire management that's easily customizable for the space and layout you create.
not sure of your layout here - do you use the full-width of the desk or do you normally stack the machines on top of each other?
That cable wrap stuff I used many years ago as a desktop repair technician. We had a very wide bench area (about 15') and an 8 port KVM. Used the cable wrap to tidy the cables, each port with a different color wrap and a sticky label at the end so i knew which KVM port it was attached to.
If you normally stack your machines on top of each other i got nothing. Velcro goes a long way.
I was thinking maybe a "PVC Tree" of sorts.Edit:
Better idea if you stack your desktops.Use horizontal wire management duct and mount to your wall, vertically. Have X sets of cables come out of left and X sets of cables out of right. Velcro to clean up.
I cut a few holes in the walls to run the cables and power.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07B7JF74H/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s02?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And because I couldn't run cable from left to right behind the wall because of studs I use this to at least control the wires on the wall.

Thanks! I am using a cable raceway. You can buy them on Amazon. Link is here. It's probably the best thing I have found for cable organization.
btw you can go with something like this to make it a little cleaner. Thats what I did
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HTHL20/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Nice work. A cable conduit would help neaten things up a bit
I've been thinking about this recently too.
If you specifically need a tray so you can bunch up your cables and just chuck them in then you might want something like this that you can just stick to the desk.
I you just want something that keeps the cables right up against the desk an hides them then d-line tubing would be a good idea since it's adhesive-backed. Comes in different sizes/colours and usually sold in metre long runs.
I did 1.5" can get 50' of it for under $100.
Well worth the $$$$ spent.
The main thing I bought for cable management is some raceway, one section of this here that I then cut up into three sections, and used two on the desk:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00066HOPM
There are a variety of options for tidying up - modesty panels that have pouches for cables, adhesive-backed loops/straps, trays, raceways, and good ol' zip ties are the ones off the top of my head. I went with the raceway because it was low profile and the cheapest option. I then mounted a surge protector underneath at the end of the raceway, mine's a Tripp Lite that I bought because it has a slightly longer 7' cord with a right-angle plug, and keyhole mounts on the underside so I could use screws (most have this, but there's always 3M mounting tape if not).
Thanks - I literally just ordered this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06XC563C4/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
But was just curious about that other one - looks "cleaner" to me.

we considered these : https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-3x3in-Wiring-Cable-Raceway/dp/B00006HQV5/ref=pd_rhf_sc_p_img_5?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=SBRBCA6RGYC0691D0SE5
I would go with something like 1.5" or 2" where you need to run more wires. The orange low-voltage Carlon which terminates in the orange low-voltage brackets. Make sure they leave the pull-strings in the flex conduit.
https://www.amazon.com/Carlon-SCH4X1C-50-1-5-Resi-Gard-Raceway/dp/B005ZF7ZAS
For between floors, I actually use the gray 3" schedule-40 PVC conduit used for power entrance to buildings. In some installs you can run this on the surface of a garage wall so there's less boring to do.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015EA3NO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_wM7pDbVGN4MRR <--- one i personally used
it is basically a cable raceway, or a channel, that can either mount onto the wall with either screws, or adhesive (which i used, since i don't own the house.) it gives it a very clean look, without having to drill behind the tv into the wall and running cables through the wall. you can also paint the raceways if you don't like the white color on them.
here are a few other alternatives, but i haven't seen how good they are.

Yep, I need that ;). I'm planning on getting the following for cable management and general organization:
All of which will be installed under the table. Also I need to check on the new table I'm getting (Jarvis Stand up Adjustable Table) and see if they fit there after I assemble the table frame and top.
Some LEDs strips are on the way as well ;)
you cables, you can round the mup with zip ties, or velcro.
you can instead of drilling hot gluing some brackets on the ground of the desk, and have for example this or this here
Fair enough, but at least get something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Wiremold-Company-Plastic-Channel-5-Feet/dp/B008KHJDV2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1411399689&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=wire+channel
I used this under my standing desk to manage cables: https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-com-2inx1in-Wiring-Cable-Raceway/dp/B00066HOPM/ref=sr_1_23?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1511980820&amp;sr=8-23&amp;keywords=cable+management and this for power management (connected to my ups) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ZJXAH74/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1. Both are under the desk and work very well. the only thing that moves from the floor is the power cable connected to the ups + the PC power cable.
It's living room/family room. It's not full wall room, it has two wide open entrances to the kitchen that are not able to cover.
I won't able to hide it in a wall.
I would have put one rear speakers and the receiver on a column and the other perpendicular on the other side mounted on a wall. So the wire would be on the top wall.
Do you think something like this can cover it?

You're welcome.
Is there an update on this? Would love to see something! I would love to tackle this LOL
I would first unplug everything and figure out what wires are connecting to what and where. I would also recommend a new spot for your power outlet. Buy USB extension cables for more flexibility. Purchase Cable Raceway and 3m Double sided tape to go under your desk. Buy Velcro cable ties Connect your Mouse to your keyboard if you have the option to. Run all wires through the raceway. Buy a Cable Management Box for your power outlet. Buy a three or four tier drawer where you can keep accessories like our Vive, GoPro and controllers. Buy a cable/electronic organizer to organize your cables that you are not using and anything else you don't use, place them in the drawer.
That makes more sense actually. Though I still contest the idea of rear facing switches. Personally, I'd just do something like this

It's not perfect (nothing will be if you can't run the cables behind the wall), but get something like this and paint it the color of the wall so it blends in. It will be a lot less conspicuous.
You can get cable covers that you can put on the wall. It looks maybe slightly neater. https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Concealer-Wall-Cover-Raceway/dp/B077Z5ZC1S
As far as clutter goes, I think you're better off mounting them on the wall than messing with tripods.
If you're really worried about lighthouse clutter, consider getting WMR. There's drawbacks, but you don't need any external sensors.
Text: The text is fine for Skyrim and Fallout 4. For other legacy games, like Elite Dangerous or flight sims, text and gauges can be problematic. You can improve things with super sampling, which costs GPU cycles. You won't be doing much super sampling with a 390.
The OG Vive isn't on the verge of obsolescence. My guess is a year or two before we get better tech. PiMax might be a total shitshow; I wouldn't count on it. The only thing we've gotten since OG is slightly higher res screens, which are also available on the Pro and Samsung Odyssey (WMR). I'm only looking forward to knuckles, and have a distant hope that wireless tech might be competent and affordable soon.
Don't bother with Crossfire/SLI. I think only two games use it (Serious Sam and Talos Project?). Save your money for the next gen NVIDIA card. I have a 390 (and a 4690) myself and it works fine. Some judder in Skyrim, but Fallout is unfuckingplayable. Also note that there's a form of technology (Asynchronous Time Warp) that is not available for the 390, so you'd have been better off with a 970 (more recent models of AMD cards also support ATW).
Something like this probably.
