Keep Cables Organized With a Drinking Straw
We’ve shown you many ways to organize your cables . Most of them are about organizing your rat’s nest wires, but when you have many similar cables going to a specific location, labeling them becomes a big help. This is where drinking straws come in handy.
As Instructables user mikeasaurus points out , having a few colorful drinking straws can make your cable life a lot easier . Simply cut the straw lengthwise, cut the straw to any length, mark them, and clip them onto the cable. Use different colors to differentiate them even more. Whether you’re using them at your computer, at your home entertainment center, or to track network cables going to your router, knowing exactly which cable is for moving your equipment makes troubleshooting a lot easier. And you can buy a bag of a hundred straws for just a dollar or two.
