GeneralDoes anyone have a good - and tidy looking - cable organising idea? Pin

Because mine is the traditional "chuck it in the cable drawer ..." which is ... um ... unhelpful, if quick to implement initially.

I changed ISP today, so I needed to configure everything to the new WiFi: fun, fun, fun.

The printer: the WPS button didn't do the job, so I had to manually connect it - except it has no user interface, just ON / OFF, and WPS buttons. So it's "connect via USB" and Samsung software.
Which is fine, if you have any idea where the right USB cable is - "Standard USB"1 one end, and "BST"2 the other. And I had to look at every cable in the drawer to find it. Twice. I found it the third time, because I was expecting it to be black and it was blue. Blush | :O

Basically, I need a way to organise these damn things so I can find the cable I need (USB, HDMI, mains, CAT5, modem, you know the pile ...) and that isn't going to attract the cat to new playthings ...

Any ideas? I can't be the only one with this problem! Laugh | :laugh:
