How are you organizing your spare cable drawer?
-
Right, sorry, I got carried away.

Michael's store sells thee 16 5x7 photo organizers in a carry case.
-
It s calls Simply Tidy: Photo and Craft Keeper. Also fits 3.5 inch HDDs.
-
And somehow never have the one you need.
-
I prefer a more stochastic approach.
-
Shit, THAT'S where that thing has been.
Thanks

I have a 5 gallon bucket 3/4 full with just USB cables of all types.
-
Are you kidding me? I have 21 drawers of cables and bs.
(Not all of these are filled / bottom right are empty)
-
It's a box. It's full of cables.
-
went to a shoe shop and asked them for old shoe boxes. now i have free cardboard boxes, all the same size and easy stackable.
-
No drawers in the server closet, so 3D printer to the rescue:
-
Nice! So far I have a box of bags, vaguely sorted by function

I was about to ask if you could show off some of your assorted cables, then I couldn't stop thinking of Professor Farnsworth
Prof. Farnsworth: Let me show you around. That’s my lab table and this is my work-stool. And over there is my intergalactic spaceship! And here’s where I keep assorted lengths of wire.
Fry: Whoa! A real live spaceship!
Prof. Farnsworth: I designed it myself. Let me show you some of the different lengths of wire I used.

That's a great idea, plus you can label them on the outside of the roll!
I mostly use assorted small cardboard boxes – usually from computer peripherals.
-
Rubber band everything and throw them in a series of different drawers of varying sizes with a vague organizational scheme
-
mind sharing those .STLs?
-
Clear plastic bins full of toilet paper rolls with the cables folded and inserted so that both ends stick out upwards. Keeps everything tidy and visible at a glance.
-
I have a few small totes. I have a few categories: USB, networking, computer internals (SATA), power, A/V. From there, I just coil them up and hope for the best. I still have to hunt a little to find stuff, but the vague categories makes it a lot easier.
-
I have all the "USB-A to ?" cables rubber banded together at the opposite end. That way I can find the non USBA side that I need quickly.
