How are you organizing your spare cable drawer?
-
Currently they're in types in ziploc baggies but there must be a better way
the baggies:
- USB A > USB C
- USB C <> USB C
- USB A > USB B Micro
- Ethernet
- HDMI to different sized HDMI
- HDMI to USB B
- HDMI to other USB
- HDMI to HDMI
- USB female to male and extenders
- Dongles, converters, and USB hubs
- VGA
Not pictured: separate drawer for guitar cables, XLR, headphones jack to jack and adapters, phono and midi

There is no better way. Any more structure, like hooks or dividers, reduces the usable storage space.
Label your ziplocs and call it a day.

Mine are just chucked in with no organisation whatsoever. If I want a cable I have to search the entire box and untangle it from all the other cables.

Ponytail hair rubber bands. soft on the cables, reusable, cheap...

Throw them in and let them become one.

Toiletpaper-rolls works

Wait, you're supposed to organize your spare cables??
-
You guys have drawers??
-
Hehe
I just noticed the empty drawer just below the pile.
Hm.
-
Oh, that is brilliant!

Loose in box that u have to go digging through to find anything. Its the technological version of a rat king. I did go through it lat week and threw out 90% of the shit. I found cables I didn't even know existed.
Its kinda a useless box now since the only 3 cables I need in my life are USBC HDMI and power.

Or buy one then realise you already have several in that tangled mess.
-
no brilliant, only dull
-
What did you do with all that toilet paper, though?
-
Like a techno rat king!
-
Just wait. In 3 days you're going to need that null modem cable and it's going to ruin you.
-
Into nooses.

For those that haven't yet discovered them, reusable cable ties exist. They make keeping cables properly coiled a lot easier. No more rat kings!
