🔌 Cable Managing
Contents
My computer rack would benefit from some better cable management. To facilitate this I need to make some modifications to the rack:
- Extend the rack to ≈30 in, up from ≈24 in. This wil give me more space at the rear to route cables.
- Move server chassis down for 0U gap. This will give me more space at the top.
- Put wheels back on the rack. This will allow me to roll out the entire rack from the wall for better access.
I purchased these server rack tie bars to give me something to fasten the cables to. I use hook-and-loop straps for this.

Computer desk needs tidying cables too. I attached a spare wire shelf to the underside of the desk using magnetic hooks. The hook base attaches to the desk’s metal support rails.
