You can hide some of it by running the wires behind the table legs and securing.
Example here: https://imgur.com/a/XVKd3 last pic

I would also get a wire tray to mount on the underside of the back of the desk:

These are really nice for running cables so they stay out of your way.

u/JacksHQ · 49 pointsr/ValveIndex

Due to the Index using Display Port, I had to come up with a way to play it outside my office without running a long cable. The solution i came up with was to drill a hole through the wall and make that room a VR room. I absolutely love it!

4 inches of this should do the trick, just glue or anchor it down on the outside of where the wheels will cross and you should be golden.

get one of those desks that have the low hanging cable hiding backboard on it (you could literally modify the desk with a piece of plywood nailed to the back of it) so that people cannot reach the cables with their feet (they just hit the board, and the cables are behind it), or one of those cable cages that can be bolted to the underside of the desk (like this)

I'm using these and everything has been super comfortable and great. They are elastic so they form to your head. Save yourself the extra cash for upcoming games!! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G54B68Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

u/NoahDoah · 5 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Like these, just search "cable management clips" on Amazon, there are so many variations.

u/NinjaMilez · 5 pointsr/battlestations

Looks professional.

It's a minor thing but you should remove the kinks from your mouse. You only need to do it the the part that is visible on the desk.

Also, some kind of phone dock might be a good idea if you can find one that doesn't take up a lot of desk real estate. Gives the phone a home on the desk.

Maybe grab something like this for your controller so it looks like it has a place on the desk as opposed to looking like it's been put down after a gaming session. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015KJAQX6?th=1

You seem like you are the kind of person who appreciates quality. I say this because you have a pair of HD800's. If you are such a person then I'd recommend building yourself a custom mechanical keyboard instead of having to put up with the Corsair K70 RGB. Check out /r/MechanicalKeyboards if you're interested! ^join ^usssss...

Speaking of your headphones. Again, like the controller, you should make them look like they have a dedicated place. You should get two wall-mountable headphone stands and put them up on that left hand side wall. If you wanted to sacrifice convenience for looks then you could also get a wall-mounted hook for the cables since they are detachable. I always thought that cables that hang from headphones are messy. If you remove them then they are much easier to display nicely.

Use these at the far end of the desk near the wall and make your keyboard cable tidier: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01G23R0K6/

Your cable management is quite good but can be improved:

Bought a quest about a week ago. Had a CV1 before that; my gf and I noticed it was significantly less comfortable. Found a rad headband to 3D print (shoutout to 'thatdude902' on thingiverse!). Between the headband, short 90 degree aux cable, a sweet little cable organizer sticky thing, and a silicone facial interface cover (beat saber & pistol whip sweating) I'd say it's been an amazing improvement to the headset. I've linked all the items in case you're interested.

u/nastysam · 4 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Makes sense to have the cable cross where you have it but you will really wish you had this the day the lights are out and you trip over the cable yanking the cord at an angle causing damage to the port.

u/sonsofaureus · 4 pointsr/battlestations

I know you said it's complete, but if I may suggest - I would add 1 more leg near where the monitor mounts - to keep the long desktop from bowing in the future.
Also some Alex drawers, like everyone else, for storage.

Also, cable management doesn't look bad to me. You'll always have that one wire going to the subwoofer anyway. A pack of these or some cable sleeving seems sufficient for that.

u/giggly_kisses · 4 pointsr/battlestations

Here are the parts I used:

  • cable raceway
  • cable clips
  • indoor mounting squares
  • velcro cable ties

    The cable raceway and the cable clips made the biggest difference. In the past I would just use the velcro strips, which would help with making the cables look more clean, but not with hiding them altogether.

    The process I used was:

  • unplug everything from your computer and lay them over your desk in straight lines so you can see all the cables you'll need to route.
  • find a good spot for the raceway leaving enough room for a power strip to sit behind it. I had to cut the raceway to fit my desk. Once it's sized correctly, stick it to the bottom of your desk.
  • Route a single wire at a time. I started with the wires coming from my monitor first since they were the furthest away from my tower. I also did the power cables last since they were the biggest and weren't being routed to the tower.
  • Once everything is routed in the raceway then start using the cable clips to make sure the cables follow the path cleanly.
  • Use the velcro strips to keep hanging wires together.

u/cryptomon · 4 pointsr/homelab

Lack Tip. You can unscrew the bottom legs, then use 3in. screws to go into the top units legs. Rescrrw b nottom legs in. Super solid and no visible external plates. Then use these or similar. You can get 2 rows side by side on 1 leg of them.

u/knollexx · 3 pointsr/buildapc

You could tape the cords to the floor/wall to make them less accessible, or you could buy some thick walled PVC pipe to put your wires in.

Or, you know, lock the dog in another area of the house with something else to chew on.

u/sekazi · 3 pointsr/OculusQuest

Right now it is is made with what I had laying around. My next step is to find a suitable elastic cinch strap to use instead. I am currently thinking about these but I do not know if they can be cut down or if the Velcro is a good match for the one used on the Quest arms.

For the one in the photos I used a cut down Velcro One Wrap that would fit through the Quest arms hole at the front. I sewed it to a 4 inch piece of sewing elastic folded in half similar to this. For the DAS I used a spudger and inserted it between the arm and the plastic piece and they separated fairly easily since the glue they use is not super strong. Once out I drilled 4 small holes at the end of the DAS arms in the shiny plastic area so I can sew through to attach the other side of the elastic. then used a small piece of one wrap and push into the Quest arms. Really not purpose other than to make the arms not move around as much at the edge.

I made sure that I could pull the arms out almost all of the way when I was securing the velcro to the sides. They pull out a little more than is visible on the stock DAS strap.

u/[deleted] · 3 pointsr/3DS

I'm not too sure because I never needed to look for ones but a quick search on amazon brought me to these these. Alternatively, you could just try some of your other electronics like the bottom of your keyboard (old ones would do) and try re-applying those.

u/HeloRising · 3 pointsr/HomeNetworking

I'm sure there are but they're going to be expensive.

You have two cheaper options.

First is cable floor conduits. I don't know how that would play with your wheelchair but I can attest that these can withstand quite a bit of pressure.

Second is to run the cable up along a wall with cable clips. You said you didn't have anyone that could help, I'd suggest asking a friend or making friends with someone. Even just offering someone a sixpack to help you out would be fair, it's a ten minute job and all you need is a hammer.

u/orcinovein · 3 pointsr/malelivingspace

Yes, most people would spend 20 bucks on the tools and parts, which is why I stated do it yourself for $20. Cable clips: 100 for $1. Hammer: $7. Coax cable: 25ft for $5. It also doesn't take a genius to pop the cable clip onto the cable and hammer the nail into the wall along the baseboard. Even if you need to "waste your time" watching a five minute Youtube video, scheduling a cable guy will take at least a week and a four hour window of sitting at home on the day of the appointment. It's far from rocket science. Edited for clarity.

u/mustfix · 3 pointsr/buildapc

If you have a ton of slack, I've used these clips to route up the door frame and across the ceiling.

A carpet laid out over cable is my 2nd option.

My 3rd option is to bust out the handyman tools and start running cable through the walls.

u/SirEDCaLot · 3 pointsr/DataHoarder

On DIY pickups- give it a shot by all means, but if it sounds like shit don't rule out pickups as a concept because the bad sound could just be the homemade piezo rather than the concept.

Also for the camera, you can get a tiny little mini shotgun mic that goes on the 3.5mm port on top of the phone. They're not terribly expensive as I recall...

Well for the wires you could probably simplify it a bit. Short pins 11-12 and that should constantly activate the drive motor, so the drive LED won't go off but it will save wires (should be same as grounding it). That means you only need 3 wires from each drive to the Arduino- Arduino Ground, Direction, and Step.

So if it were me, I'd get some nice easy to manage wire like for example 24/4 phone cable. Then I'd crimp terminal pins on each end (with some heat shrink for insulation of course), female pins go on the drive side, then the Arduino side gets two male pins for the Arduino and the other two go in a terminal block (much like the ones you have) which break out the Arduino's ground. Result is you have one thin data wire going to each drive which you can easily manage with cord clips, and then coming back to a central place where it can be nicely contained. Power is easy, just get a bunch of Molex-to-floppy Y splitters and some more cord clips you're done. Remember that you can make Molex connections yourself (just need the parts, which is useful for cable management...

Thank you!! I actually drilled a hole in the desk AND at bottom of my cheap keyboard and pulled the wire through so it wouldn't even pop out the "front" when standing over it.

Also these little 3m plastic clips help a ton too!

Gotcha! I used a Led Strip Light I bought off Amazon. They come in a roll and you can cut them to the exact length you need. There are a bunch of options! White, RGB, remote controlled, app controlled etc.. Here's what I used:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078S48ZTY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_go85BbST4BNZ3

Most are 9v or 12v, and have the same power jacks that pedals use. So I plugged the lights into my power supply. They have an adhesive back to them but I used the cable management clips below to secure them to the board.

u/Orchestral_Design · 3 pointsr/cableadvice

Here is a brief step by step on how to somewhat tame this birds nest of spaghetti.


  1. Unplug everything and start with the power, go from the wall outlet, then to the power strips. Use these to make things look cleaner. Its also a key time to re-organize where you put stuff, as it will ultimately determine your wire management and routing. If it has a bulky power brick, you might want to get this to help with the wall warts.

  2. Now for the audio and video cables your AV switcher is where a lot of them come from so more cable management is good. (pro tip, label the HDMI so you know where its going) I find that cable clips are great for making sure everything stays nice and neat. Velcro Zip Ties are a wonderful thing to have, and you could probably just get by with buying those and nothing else. But if you have slack on a cable, wrap that up like a breakfast burrito.

  3. Networking comes next, and boy howdy it looks like you have a lot. Apply the same technique previously used of unplugging cables (label them prior if you want to make your life easier) and using a cable bundler to make it look clean. In addition, you can probably put some of the routers behind the entertainment center with all the new space you are getting by organizing the other cables.

    Some other things I would say is, put your UPS outside of the entertainment center, those things take up a ton of space and are heavy. If you ever need to unplug something or change the battery it will be very inconvenient. I would place it right next to the entertainment center or behind it. Also consider using double sided 3M foam tape to mount your switch upside down underneath a shelf, that way it frees up some space. Aside from that, theres not much else that I can see being done. I hope this helps. You are contractually obligated by reddit to post the before and after if you decide to tackle this. (not really, but I would love to see the results!)
u/Squirming_Coil · 3 pointsr/guitarpedals

Not sure what your board looks like but I always try to route all cabling underneath where possible.

Once underneath I use a few different types of organizers to avoid a web of cables.

I use velcro zip ties (like this: https://www.amazon.com/Pasow-Reusable-Fastening-Organizer-7-Inch/dp/B0154MS9Q0/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1503940004&sr=8-5&keywords=cable+organizer)

I think it's only worth it if you use the cable management clips for other purposes because they're sold in bulk.

Cable management clips

As far as springs, I used spare extension springs that I found somewhere in my dad's garage. These can be purchased at local hardware stores like Home Depot. The extension springs link is just for reference to show what type I used. Just pick the best length and flex for your personal setup.

Just these cheap cable clamps (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FQ8PZRZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share) and some spare 1/4-20 screws. Honestly if you're using dongles it's better than using a Smallrig cable clamp,etc

u/Bumblebee__Tuna · 3 pointsr/battlestations

For cable management, check these out. Alongside zip-ties, they helped me out a ton. And that monitor is big enough to wall mount. If you do that, get some cable organizers for the wall. Something like this.

I have a lot of things under the desk. Two power bars screwed to it, a Phillips hue bridge, a 5 port switch, network cables, HDMI etc. I even attached my g29 steering wheel power adapter to the bottom of the desk, I just grab the power cable when I put my wheel on my desk.

These clips you can open them and put wires in and out, so easy to add lines or take them out

I route them with adhesive clips. I ordered these

OOOh. Icky. Ya don't do that. Although you might be able to get just a little cable concealer. That would still look better than hanging it.

Hi, if your case is pure flat on the bottom i'd suggest buying these: https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-com-Dia-Self-Adhesive-Rubber-Cases/dp/B00032Q30Q

will raise your PC enough to get some sort of airflow with out sucking up the contents of your carpet. Additional, grab a PC stand with vents on the bottom. As long as you keep the space around your PC clean, and clean your filters every couple of months you should be all good.

u/coma420 · 2 pointsr/Blackops4

I recommend getting some rubber feet for it to lift it up and help with air flow. Example: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00032Q30Q/

Also, move it some to the right, so that it's not completely against that wall on the left. Give it 3-4" on each side, and even more behind it.

u/GamerLucif · 2 pointsr/desksetup

Not sure about cable management in the case for but the desk...


I believe thats a malm desk so it has the rack in the back which means adding another won't be easy (really everything doesn't fit?). You could try using something like this or this with some 3m tape so you can mount the cables on the bottom of the desk so they aren't hanging. You could also wrap the cables to decrease the amount of slack using something like this. Any cables coming from the back of the monitors or the desk you can try using this. You could consider mounting your surge protector on the desk if it is not already so that no cables are dangling down to it and the only thing would be the surge protector wire.

Additional things you could look into would be a boom arm for the mic so its not sitting in the middle, might clean it up a bit. Also, if you are really dedicated to making it look nice and don't tend to rearrange that often, you could look into drilling holes for the wires for the keyboard/mouse (I'm personally not a fan of this method but people do it).

It might take a bit of cash to do ALL of that so maybe just prioritize what you think will give the best results.

u/koalapear · 2 pointsr/CableManagement

The power strip is attached with this tape. I used cable clips similar to these but replaced the crappy tape that comes on them with the same stuff I used for the power strip. The ones I actually used I found at Ace Hardware. All of the power bricks are attached with Velcro so that they can be easily removed. I also used these cable ties so, again, everything can be easily removed. I was able to pick it all up at Ace Hardware but if you're not near one of those I'm sure Homedepot or any hardware store should carry most of this stuff. Hope this helps!

I've been using these and they were exactly what I was looking for. Works Perfectly.

Double check the diameter though, I'm not at home so I don't have access to the exact ones I ordered.

u/Stanleeallen · 2 pointsr/guitarpedals

If you want to avoid buying/making a new board, you can probably:

  • Invest in solder-less piston jacks and stagger your IN/OUTs so you can squeeze the pedals even closer.
  • Drill holes in your board with a hole saw to run the cables under the board.
  • If that's not a raised board, you can hammer a couple small blocks of wood to the far left and right corners to raise it up to help run the cables. Cable clips will help too.
  • Try playing Tetris with your board and moving things around. Don't be afraid of a sideways pedal. (Your tuner could easily go sideways above your volume pedal. In fact, the PolyTune's strobe feature, IMO, looks better sideways.)
     
    You should be able to, at the very least, get that Loop Station on there.

u/shshsns · 2 pointsr/MouseReview

No problem.

The wire on the g403 seems to be a braided cable so it’s not good news. However there have been instances of batches of G502 mice have bad cables, so it may just be your model, but there’s no way to be sure.

However like I said before there are many Logitech mice with the exact same shape. So you can go wireless if you’d like with the g603/g703. From what your issue I’d say you could remedy the cable drag with a mouse bungee or some cable clips.

There's a ton of companies who sell mouse bungees and usually they're pretty good. Though I'd recommend you check out reviews first since some are too lightweight or gimmicky. I personally use the Zowie camade if you got questions.

Alternatives :
I've seen people use clips like this in place of a mouse bungee: https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Clips-Management-Nightstand-Accessories/dp/B00NVKHLP8

Or you can just get a generic brandless bungee which people have said are fine : https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Mouse-Bungee-Management-Holder/dp/B01ASXL0PW

If you don't want a mouse bungee to be to big or noticeable you could also use something like this : https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07G1WD13M

Just try it. It doesn't make it any more 'warm' if you use a strap that isn't too wide. I think the commercial one that's out is too wide; I just use a simple strap I got from Amazon. It's stretchy so it gives the whole headset a bit of 'bounce' and makes it a lot more comfortable.

Edit: this is the strap I bought that I think works great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G54B68Y/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

These do wonders for me. I have had to swap out the adhesive on them with this but damn does it work great. I also use the same adhesive to hold my power strips and power blocks to the underside of all my desks and tables. It is supposed to hold 30 lbs of pressure so it should have plenty of stick.

Okay, so, here is everything I used:

Light bar 28" flood/spot

Mount to 1" roof basket bar

Wire Clips

Wire harness, this comes with the bar if you choose the package. I ran the switch through the firewall wire grommet by cutting a hole in the grommet (BE CAREFUL NOT TO CUT ANY WIRES). The wire that plugs into the car was run under the hood and up the window, secured by the clips. I followed this guys guide, u/DauphDaddy He didn't use the same harness but its the same idea. Hope this helps!!

u/Crypticion · 2 pointsr/battlestations

Cable management is not a fun thing to do but in my opinion one of the most rewarding for a set up in terms of aesthetics. I spent about $6 on Amazon for some cable clips, and used some zip ties to clean up all the wires under my desk. It took me around an hour or so. It really cleaned up the look of my setup which is semi-minimalistic as well. I even drilled a hole in my desk for the mouse and keyboard. I love how it looks even more now. I would also recommend a cable race way, or a rack to hold the cables up, however I just took advantage of my 100 clips (actually 98 after I counted) and a lot of zip ties to hold it up. Also a cable sleeve for the back of the pc helps out a lot. There are many tutorials on YouTube but really it just takes some time and some clever thinking on how to hide everything and make it look pretty.

Also I dig the large monitor/T.V set up

Good luck, and remember your set up is never compete ;)

Plus some other materials i probably missed but a quick amazon search of “Cable Management” on amazon can start to trigger some awesome ideas.

You really gotta sit there and stare at it and think how you can hide everything, neatly and routed in a way thats easy to clean. Having my monitors wall mounted allowed me to use the brackets to hide the long monitor power cords and hdmi cables i was also able to mount a power strip behind there so it was easier to power things while hiding wires.

u/ohtoodark · 2 pointsr/setups
u/Lianad311 · 2 pointsr/CableManagement

Your post may be deleted for violating Rule 2 just FYI.

Here are my recommendations though:

  • Mount the surge protector under your desk using heavy duty double stick tape or screws if it has keyholes
  • For your keyboard/mouse cables. If you're willing, the best way is to drill a hole just large enough that they can fit through. Drill it underneath where your large mousemat is. Then cut a tiny slit in the mousemat for them to come through. You can then feed them under down through and under the desk.
  • Mount your USB hub under the desk on the front off to the left or right side from where you sit using command strips or double stick tape. Easy access to plugin items when needed and just unplug devices when not using. If you're using the ports 100% of the time, it may be better to mount it under the desk towards the back out of the way. I use mine only for short term things like pluging in a headset, SD card reader, etc. So when I'm done I just unplug them and it's clean.
  • Under the desk you're going to want to buy some cable clamp type things. Depending on your types of wires you may need a few different sizes. I've bought tiny ones for single thin cables, medium ones for a usb or two, and xlarge ones for power cords/hdmi/multiple cables
  • Depending on your situation, you could also pick up the IKEA Signum rack for under the desk to help with things, or a J Channel cableracewaytype sitution
  • With all of the management and running things under the desk, I personally found I needed to buy a few extenders for different things. So I had to pick up a couple of USB 3 extension cables, as well as a couple of power extension cables so I could get things all cleanly routed then down/up at one single point to the outlet or computer.

    Any other questions just ask. I could always take pictures of my setup and under the desk if it would help, just PM me for those.

Disclaimer: I am not the best in the world with cables. My needs were to simply get the stuff off the floor and remove spaghetti danger traps when navigating. I didn't want anything too permanent in case I needed to alter my setup and I couldnt modify the desk. Everything below is just for inspiration purposes, as I'm sure much more could be done for much less. This should cover some common items in cable management, though.

This is the route I took. I didn't really have the cable length to play with at the time and didn't feel like messing with more cables.

The key players here are dmoose power box to hold a large belkin outlet filled to the brim with power cables and transformer boxes. Good ventilation on the box and no thermal issues.

For the behind the monitor stuff I used reusable cable ties to bundle runs together and sleeved them with zipper wire organizers .

u/itsmy1stsmokebreak · 2 pointsr/OculusQuest

I wanted MOAR POWAHH so I set mine up with a hefty power bank and I've been using this for about a month or so.

Cable, 26800 mAh Power Bank, and velcro straps for fastening the power bank.

It works well as a counterbalance, although it is a bit heavy on the backend. While it's noticeable I've become mostly used to it. The only thing I don't like is that the flat backing of the power bank sometimes rests uncomfortable on the back of my head. I just need to throw some sponges back there to give it a little space. The nice part is I only need to charge my Quest every few days if at all; if the power bank dies I'll just recharge it overnight and it'll power the Quest without any issues for a minimum 8+ hours of playtime.

This post is the idea behind the velcro mod. The way I implemented it was slightly different. I stuck some velcro sticky bits on the side of the headset.

If it looks stupid and it works its not stupid.

But unless you are not allowed to use nails, I would suggest using cable clips. It would look a little cleaner and should hold up longer than duct tape.

It's really easy and cheap to run an ethernet cable around your house, too, even if you're not into drilling walls. I had to run a coax and an ethernet cable down the hall in my apartment and I just attached them to the ceiling with these cable clips. If the ethernet cable wasn't black on a white wall I bet you'd never notice them up there. Even still the white coax cable hides most of the black.

A high-quality CAT5e or CAT6 cable and some wall clips is like $40 tops. I got this $18 75 foot flat ethernet cable from monoprice through ebay, a 100 foot coax cable for like $11 on ebay, paid $4 for those clips on Amazon, and that was it. Both major kinds of cabling reaching both sides of the house, barely visible, for $33.

u/random12356622 · 1 pointr/Dashcam

> Any advice on hardwiring? If I get the F50, It sounds like Ill need a pro to install it.

If you really really want to pay someone else to install it, buy a more expensive camera:

BlackSys CH-100B 2-Channel ($269.99 USD)

Thinkware F770 2-CH ($360 - $10 = $350 USD)

BlackVue DR650S-2CH($360 - $10 = $350 USD)

Hardwiring: Start at the fuse box. So when I hardwired my first dash camera, the cord was 1 inch too short, and I had already applied the adhesive strip to the window. (1) Move the dash camera, hard didn't do this or (2) readjusted the entire kit <- Did this one.

Locate Fuse box(es): Generally there are 2 fuse boxes in a vehicle, some have 3: (1) Under the hood (don't use this one), (2) Under the dashboard Driver/Passenger side (Most use this one) (3) Some, but most vehicles all have a fuse box in the trunk, and some people have to use this one (but not most.) - Consult your owner's manual. (Googling youtube videos of your vehicle model/make/year + Fusebox location also helps.)

Tap a Fuse or Add a fuse: If it is included in your kit, great, if not purchasing one makes the job a lot easier ($1-5 USD). Tap A fuse/Add a fuse should match your vehicle, and there are different types: ATO, Mini, Low Profile Mini, Micro2.

If you look at the Tap a Fuse/Add a fuse, you will see 2 slots: 1st slot protects your vehicle (use the fuse you pulled out of your vehicle), 2nd slot protects your dash camera (1-5 amp fuse - Sometime have them included in the kit, others purchased separately.)

Always on vs only on when ignition is on: Parking mode dash cams should be plugged into an Always on slot in your fuse box. (Generally there is a powered, but unused slot, rear wipers works great.)

Most non parking mode dash cams are plugged into a fuse slot that is only powered when the vehicle is on. (Avoid Airbags, alarm system, Headlights, ignition system, air conditioner and other sensitive or high voltage fuses.) - Cig Lighter is a common choice for this type, test if it is always on or ignition only by using it while key is not in vehicle.

Ground wire: Find a bolt that is not painted, unscrew it slightly, put ground wire connector behind it, screw it back in. - Sounds hard, is not, generally there is one located in or near the fuse box. (This completes the circuit, Fuse box (positive), Ground wire (negative.)

Hiding wires: Most vehicles you can hide the wires in the weather stripping of the vehicle, and the headliner. If not buy wire clips. - I hid mine in the weather stripping; You can see 1 wire, but it is hard to notice since I followed the natural lines of the vehicle's interior.

Or the other option: You can take apart the A pillar, and hide the wires in there (not suggested.)

There are almost an endless series of videos of how to install a dash camera, watch a few.

> But I have a bigger question: does hardwiring not hurt the battery life of the car? Are there drawbacks like the car not starting if it takes up too much juice in park mode?

The Thinkware F50 has built in low voltage protection, and a timer cut off.

There are drawbacks to using your car's battery, most car batteries are Cranking batteries (meant to give you a short burst of energy to start your vehicle, and then rapidly recharged.)

Some (very few) have a hybrid battery - It is a mixture of deep cycle (long use) and a cranking battery. Deep Cycle batteries are for like powering a radio with the engine off on a boat. Generally in this setup you would have 1 cranking, and 1 deep cycle (like on a boat).

While in parking mode dash cams only write to the Micro SD card when motion is detected. Excellent Parking mode dash cams are low power while in park mode, discreet enough to not attract unwanted attention, and buffered (records a few seconds before motion is detected, and a few seconds after.) - The Thinkware F50 has this.

I am actually not familiar with the Thinkware F50 menu options, but many can be set to different voltage levels/timers.

u/drfoqui · 1 pointr/buildapc

I looked at both recently and ended up going for the I. The II have USB and also 7.1 surround IIRC but in headphones, the surround is not real, it's a virtual 7.1 recreated through the two headphones you have so I really didn't think is was worth the extra money. There may be some other small features, though, but I'm perfectly happy with the I.

One suggestion to avoid tangling is routing the cable carefully around your desk with a solution like this or something similar.

Also get a headphone stand or holder if you don't have one and build the habit of hanging the headphones facing forward, i.e. without turning it 180°, which I feel is a fairly intuitive thing to do unfortunately, so that you don't spin the cable every time to put the headphone on and off.

These things are friggin awesome, and for <$3 with shipping, what do you have to lose?

I stuck a few along the back/bottom of my desk, and routed the cables through there. It keeps them nice and bundled, tucked out of the way, and neatly routed. If I ever have to change anything, just click em open (no zipties to cut or velcro to mess with). The best part is, for my mouse/kb I wrapped the cable around once and put the clip near the drawer, so it's never slid or dangled or pulled even once.

Wow! Thanks for that deal. I've just bought 3 packs of those combined with 2 packs of those, no more excuse to keep that cable mess around my computer, TV, Rpi, etc.

u/gimpwiz · 1 pointr/Justrolledintotheshop

Thanks.

I have two cars and three 'projects'.

One underhood project:

  1. Electronically-switched oil accumulator (accusump). Just ignition-hot.
  2. Subtle under-hood lighting (no rice - subtle - will be playing around with it. Might decide it looks like shit, and not do it.) Might also install a switchable work light in case something needs to be done at night.
  3. My own version of a lojack that I haven't gotten around to building. Also, if possible, have it control a secondary fuel pump relay to make the fuel pump die; basically an interlock that makes the car seem broken instead of locked.

    Two under-dash projects that are identical, one for each car:

  4. Hard-wired radar detector
  5. Hard-wired dash cam
  6. Hard-wired USB outputs - one or two dual-12v-to-USB converters
  7. Potentially the lojack-equivalent's battery charger (since it would have a separate small battery)

    The hard part is figuring out where to get a non-fused 12V supply under the dash. An add-a-fuse circuit is very appealing and I should find places where an extra 5-10A won't pop anything, so I may end up doing one 5-10A-add-a-fuse on an ignition-hot line, instead of a 12v-master-fuse + ignition-hot-relay, as the single master fuse for all these.

    Then it would just be a 15A strip terminal instead of a big fat 100A ground bar at the ground side, and a small fuse box at the positive side (with 1A or 2A fuses for each circuit, depending on their needs).

    ---

    I really appreciate your feedback. The only reason I haven't already built all this is because of worries of fucking up and coming back to a smoldering ash heap.

    ---

    I'm also figuring out how to mount all this securely under the hood... I figure these little wire clamps for the wires, and something like this velcro alternative to mount things like the fuse box, except it's hard to tell what temperature they're rated for (and it seems that the 3M stuff I linked will fall off due to heat.) Any ideas there? I want something that is 1) secure as fuck, but 2) that I could potentially remove without damage in the future, maybe using a heat gun or something. I would be mounting it mostly to plastic, but I don't want to drill any holes if possible.

Any of the Carbide cases, the 600T fuck it, all the Corsair cases. Antec P280.... I think your condition of having well-placed cable tie-downs is made moot by the ability to use stuff like this and these.

Just because it doesn't come with them built into the motherboard platen (o_O) doesn't mean that case should be excluded just because of that. You're putting a lot of lesser quality cases on that list and missing out the champs that have been used multiple times over by people on this subreddit and others.

Velcro. Go buy a roll of Velcro and a good pair of scissors. It will completely change how you manage cables.

Also, forget that Ikea tray, This is better

u/DoomRyGuy · 1 pointr/desksetup

Ah see what you mean.

At first I was going to recommend a usb hub or port replicator but I dont think that would really solve anything. I think your best bet for managing your cables would be to use cable organizers. It should neaten up your desk a bit.

Perhaps use one of these up top and on the sides of your desk.

Then on the bottom for any excess you can try these cablox things. They are a bit pricey so, if you want to go the budget route, you can always use the adhesive squares along with zip ties to mount the cables under your desk.

​

Hope that helps a bit. Good luck.

u/IzzuThug · 1 pointr/battlestations

Nice battlestation! Some tips I would recommend with this desk are cable trays, more cable clips, and a cable sleeve. I found that these cable clips are pretty good for guiding cables down the legs but aren't that great for holding cables under the desk. For an even cleaner look buy some extension cables and velcro ties and put that tower on a night stand, drawer, or cabinet (more desk space).

Do you want to do it minimally? I'm assuming the cable you bought is similar to/or is the Monoprice HDMI fiber cable. Are you securing it to dry wall?

You could look at some really narrow crown staples.

That's exactly what I did though I physically screwed the router and surge suppressor into the desk. I also drilled a hole underneath the mousepad where my mouse, keyboard, and orbweaver go underneath.

I further mounted usb hubs underneath the desk both for access and to limit the number of cables going out of the desk to the PC. Attached to these hubs are mounted retractable usb cables for things like my controller, my headset, and a mount for my phone.

This is the single best money you can spend on cable management. These things are amazing.

what many people do, including myself, is mount the power strip under the desk with 3M tape then attach the power cables/usb with cable ties to these cable clips. I have two monitors so I just velcro zip tie the HDMI and DisplayPort together and run them behind my monitors through the monitor stand. Hope this helps out man.

I also have a sit / stand desk but have my computer on a separate table to the side of it. Here's what i did!


My desk is ikea, and has a mesh cable management net mounted to the bottom. I found that the best thing to do was mount a big power strip to the bottom of the desk, and plug in all my accessories there. Then i only have the one power strip cable coming down from the desk underside, and goes down along the back of the table leg and plugs into my UPS that's on the floor. Then I mount all of the cables to the underside of the table with these guys (https://www.amazon.com/eBoot-Pieces-Adhesive-Management-Holder/dp/B01HR9VS4I/ref=lp_11042051_1_15?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1543598131&sr=1-15) . So I have a power strip next to the net, all the cables being plugged into the strip are being hidden by the net, but since the cables are mostly fastened to the underside, the net doesn't sag and stays mostly out of sight.


Since my computer is on a side table i use really long cables, and used one of these to go from the inside of the cable net to the back of the computer (https://www.amazon.com/Black-Split-Tubing-Cover-Marine/dp/B00J7SAHTK/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1543598333&sr=1-3&keywords=plastic+cable+sleeve). There are more modern looking ones, i just happened to like the "industrial" look of this one, if you could call it that...

Hope that helps! I know for me, once i got started seriously trying to take care of the cable situation, all the ideas on how to make it better just come to you as you are doing it. Figuring out where to start is often the hard part :D

u/greyaxe90 · 1 pointr/homelab

When I lived in an apartment, I used a bunch of these hooks on the walls and ceilings and ran cables around my apartment. I was single at the time so I easily got away with it. It's definitely not "significant other approved", but it works.

u/senator_mendoza · 1 pointr/Electricity

there’s a fuse box under the hood as well if that’s a better option. if you go for the interior fuse box, you can probably tuck the cord into the weather stripping on the door to get it out of the way. these are also really handy for keeping things neat

u/abcteryx · 1 pointr/oculus

So you have four corners on the recessed ceiling (higher up), and four corners on the lower ceiling. I would almost prefer to put the cameras in the corners of the lower ceiling, because it would give a more straight-on view of the player/controllers. Each camera has a narrower viewing cone at extreme close proximity. The further from the main playspace they are, the more that cone has a chance to "spread out" and cover the actual playspace. In this case, you would draw your playspace with at least (2 ft) or (0.6 m) distance from each of the four walls, so people don't bash their knuckles at the borders.

However, you might not want your cameras to be further than (12 ft) or (3.6 m) apart from each other (for best tracking quality). I don't have a big enough room to run into this limit, so you may be fine with further spaced out cameras. If the lower ceiling corners are further apart than (12 ft) or (3.6 m), then you may want to put them in the recessed ceiling anyways. You can always ignore the Oculus Rift setup's warnings about camera spacing, by the way. In fact, with larger playspaces, the Oculus setup wizard will always complain. Don't worry about it.

Also, you might want to consider using this USB card. It can handle the throughput of all four cameras in USB 3.0 mode, if desired. You can downgrade any camera to USB 2.0 by simply running a USB 2.0 cable to that camera instead of 3.0. A passive USB 2.0 cable is fine for short runs, but consider an active USB 2.0 cable (like the one that comes in the box of an extra Rift camera) for longer runs. You should put your Rift headset in one of the motherboard's USB 3.0 ports (USB 2.0 might actually be fine), and then put all four cameras (you might only need three cameras) in the USB extension card.

You can search this subreddit for discussions on whether you want/need to have the cameras/headset on 3.0 or 2.0. I prefer to run everything at USB 3.0, but it may not be necessary.

For USB 3.0 cable runs that are less than 10 feet (say, those corners nearest to your computer tower), use these passive USB 3.0 cables. You're also going to want a passive USB 3.0 extension for your Rift headset.

For USB 3.0 cable runs that are more than 10 feet away, you should use an active USB 3.0 cable. This is necessary for cameras that are further away from your tower. Note that the cable I linked has an optional barrel port for a 12V power supply. You only need to power these cables if you're daisy-chaining two or more of them in a row (for runs longer than (33 ft) or (10 m)).

These CAT6 round cable clips should work well for cable routing, especially for the slightly thicker active USB 3.0 cables. These general-purpose adhesive cable clips work fine for runs of the thinner, passive USB cables, but you may have issues with the adhesive depending on your wall.

You'll want this HDMI extension cable for your Rift headset, to make use of the extra space. I've had a good experience with bunching the HDMI and USB Rift headset extensions together by using these lightweight Velcro ties. I have about a (10 ft) or (3 m) square playspace, so you may encounter different problems than me if your playspace is larger. I only have three cameras, and it works fine. Good luck in your setup, I'm sure whatever you do will work great!

Computer building kits? What? Here's what I recommend I guess. Maybe a set of these too.

I take it to the next level with an adhesive cable clip stuck to the back edge of my night stand...so the cable always stays in the same spot when the weight of the cable pulls it back when the phone is unplugged..I use these everywhere I have a charger cord to keep it (and my phone) in an expected spot. I even have one in the car so the cord never drops to the floor if I unplug it to do voice to text or a hands free phone call without having to use the radio mic.

So, is this connection between the router in your home (living room, the "gateway" room) to your room, or from the "community" router somewhere in the other building/level to your home?
If it was the first case, you could just do it yourself. Some nail tack cable clips close to the ceiling would keep the cable out of harms way.
If you don't want nailing stuff to the wall, look for self adhesive ones.

If it's the second case, well......
Extending cable is still preferable. An extender mounted anywhere not in your home may not be there for long.
Misread your post.
You can still do the cabling yourself. Just have a good aim when you're throwing the cable to your window.
Or route the cable and use cable clips if its within the same building.
