Dedicated hanging wall?

Drawer full of compartments sorted by function?

Big ole bag of cables covered in wotsits?


Edit: Okay I was looking for ideas, but you guys are all shambles.

  • < 3m cables: I wrap them into a neat circle and put them in several cardboard boxes sorted by function/extension (e.g. USB-A, USB-C, Power+Kettle).
    • 1 extra box for miscellaneous types (e.g. a USB-C to USB-A would go in there)
    • All the boxes go into a single drawer.
  • For long cables: I wrap them into large neat circles and then they all go into the same tote bag hanging under the stairs

Not like that, that’s for sure. That’s way too organised and logical. All over the shop mostly - eurorack cables in a little rack, patch cables hung over a convenient bar, power cables in a drawer, usb/phone/laptop power cables in a sorter case in said drawer, pedal patch cables in the pedal drawer. And then all the random ones scattered around the place
