How to Choose the Right cable management for your workspace
Before you choose cable management products, look at how many devices you use, where your power outlets are, and whether your desk is fixed or height-adjustable. The goal is to route cables neatly, avoid tangles, and keep everything accessible when you need to change or add equipment.
1. Map your devices and cable paths
List your devices (PC, monitor, laptop dock, phone charger, speakers, etc.) and trace where their power and data cables run. This helps you see where you need trays, clips, channels, or sleeves.
​
2. Choose the right under-desk solution
-
Cable trays – best for holding multiple power strips and cables under the desk.
-
Cable ducts or channels – ideal for guiding cables along the underside or legs of the desk.
Pick a size that can handle both current cables and a bit of extra capacity.
​
3. Use clips and holders for precision
Cable clips, ties, and adhesive holders are perfect for guiding individual cables around edges, legs, and behind equipment. They prevent cables from hanging, catching, or getting pulled.
​
4. Consider a vertical cable route
If you have a height-adjustable desk, use vertical cable chains or sleeves to guide cables from the floor to the desktop. This keeps cables safe when the desk moves up and down.
5. Keep power and data cables separated
Where possible, route power cables and signal cables (HDMI, DisplayPort, network) separately. This reduces interference and makes troubleshooting easier.
​
6. Check compatibility with your desk
Make sure the trays, ducts, and holders you choose can be mounted on your desk type—whether it’s wood, metal, or has a special frame. Some solutions clamp on, others screw in, and some are adhesive.
​
7. Think about accessibility and future changes
Leave enough slack and access points so you can easily swap devices, unplug chargers, or add equipment. A well-planned system looks tidy but is still easy to update.
​
8. Match colour and style to your setup
Choose cable management in colours that blend with your desk and frame for a clean, integrated look. A tidy, visually calm under-desk area improves the overall impression of your workspace.
Summary
​
Good cable management keeps your desk clean, protects your equipment, and makes your workspace safer and easier to use.

FAQ – Cable management
1. Why is cable management important?
Good cable management keeps your workspace tidy, reduces tripping hazards, prevents cable damage, and makes it easier to clean and maintain your desk setup.
3. Do I need special cable management for a height-adjustable desk?
Yes. Height-adjustable desks benefit from flexible vertical cable guides or chains that move with the desk. This prevents cables from stretching, pulling, or getting caught when the desk height changes.
2. What’s the difference between a cable tray and cable clips?
A cable tray holds and hides multiple cables (often together with a power strip) under the desk. Cable clips guide and secure individual cables along edges or legs for precise routing.
4. How many cables can a typical under-desk tray hold?
It depends on the tray size, but most can hold a power strip plus several power and data cables. For busy setups, choose a larger tray or use two trays for better organisation.
5. Can I install cable management without drilling into the desk?
In many cases yes. Some trays and holders use clamps or adhesive mounts. However, screwed solutions are usually more robust for heavier power strips and large cable bundles.
7. Is cable management only for offices?
No. Cable management is just as useful in home offices and gaming setups, where multiple devices, chargers, and screens can quickly create clutter.
6. How do I keep cables from falling behind the desk?
Use cable holders or grommets at the back edge of the desk to anchor cables. Combined with an under-desk tray, this stops cables from slipping down when you unplug devices.
8. How often should I review or update my cable management?
Any time you significantly change your setup—new monitor, dock, or PC—it’s a good moment to review cable routing. Small adjustments keep the system tidy and prevent chaos from building up again.
