1. Yuerseak Store Cable Clips
The silicon material used in these clips is flexible. Plus, the slots are wide enough to hold most cables without damaging them. They work as advertised, and several users have praised these cable stations for their durability.
2. Smart & Cool Magnetic Cable Manager Set
What separates it from conventional cable stations is that the independent cable holders can be wrapped around the cable and attached to any metal surfaces like your laptop’s lid. The reception of this product has been quite good with people liking it for its shape and value for money perspective.
3. Sunficon Cable Clips
These organizers come into the picture when you have to tie up cords and cable that you do not use frequently. It could be the cable for your Kindle or the one needed to charge your smartwatch. The best part is that magnets will ensure that the loops stay in place without any manual intervention. And if you have a metallic notice board, you can stick the cable and the organizer to the board. Simple, right? However, these organizers are meant only for shorter cords. They are not long enough to wrap around thicker or longer cords. Nevertheless, the silicon in them is stretchable and proves to be a better option than velcro-based cable ties or bendable cord wraps.
4. Jiulory Cable Holder
The S-shaped clamp is designed to work on most desks with thickness up to 2.4-inches. However, you do have to ensure that your desk is not too thin, or else the holder will fall off. Like typical cable stations, you can leave the cable on their slots when done using them. The Jiulory cable holder can hold three cables at a time and the neon-like colors will surely give your desk a much-needed splash of color.
5. Alex Tech Cable Sleeve
The Alex Tech cable holder has a moderate thickness and easily allows you to hold unsightly HDMI cables and power cables together. It’s available in several lengths, and the good part is that you can trim the sleeve as per the length of the display cables. A cable sleeve wrapped around the cables will give your desk a professional and clean look.
6. Cozoo Under Desk Headset Holder
Naturally, the design and added functionality have earned praises from its user base. People love it for the ease of access, especially for charging wireless headsets and smartwatches. This headphone mount has a solid build, and the adhesive is strong enough to hold your headphones. Simultaneously, the USB ports provide 2.4A of power, enough to charge the connected accessories at a decent speed. Apart from topping your headsets, you can also use the USB ports to top up the battery on your phone. And, you can add a short charging cable to the mix, to get the most out of this setup. No more issues with long dangling phone charging cables.
7. Scandinavian Hub Under Desk Cable Management Tray
Unlike most cable management tools in this list, you will need to drill holes on your desk to install this cable tray. But the good part is that the open design makes sure that you can add and remove cables conveniently and easily. As noted earlier, it’s a sturdy accessory. Users love it for its heavy-duty nature. While installation is easy, remember to pre-drill holes on your table before fixing the cable tray.
8. Anker Magnetic Cable Holder
You have to wrap the magnetic head around the cables. And when you need them, pluck them up from the magnetic base and use them. Once done, snap them back into place, and that’s about it. Unlike Smart & Cool’s cable manager set, this one packs a professional (and clean) look. Plus, it has more grooves, and the re-stickable base is the cherry on top.
9. Workrite Magnetic Cable Manager
At the same time, it has an open tab design that lets you add and remove cables easily. Spec-wise, this sleeve is around 47-inches long and can be trimmed to accommodate your table’s height. Owing to the distinctive design, the Workrite magnetic cable manager has premium pricing. But if you look from the functional point of view, this product is worth having.
Bye Bye, Clutter
Apart from the above, check out some cool monitor mounts as well. Apart from adding a range of motions, these mounts or arms make way for more space on your desk. And with cables and cords already out of the way, you can utilize the space to do something more meaningful. Plus, it helps to mark the cable with labels like the Mini Skater labels. This makes it easy to identify the cables and will save you a lot of time in the long run. The above article may contain affiliate links which help support Guiding Tech.
