RM1111 Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Hello all, just wondering what everybody is using to organize their audio/ video cables between the components and tv. I am looking to get something that binds all the cables together or use zip strips and label each cable or wire. thanks, Ray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrWho Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Zip-Ties are very effective for permament solutions but are annoying as heck when you try to move stuff around. One thing you might consider instead of zip-ties are those hair ties with the two balls on them. You can usually find them at Walgreens: http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100745&navAction=jump&navCount=1&id=prod363703 (I guess they call them pony tail holders?) These are what we use in the studio, but we're also moving cables around all the time too. Here's a pic to get a better idea: Your local radio shack will have cable wrap stuff that I've used to great success in a few other occasions: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062665&cp=&origkw=cable+wrap&kw=cable+wrap&parentPage=search http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103809&cp=&origkw=cable+wrap&kw=cable+wrap&parentPage=search And then it looks like PE has a buyout on some velcro stuff: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=089-102 Hope this helps.

DrWho Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I'm surprised nobody else has chimed in. There's a lot of crazy creative dudes on the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bismarck Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 A really simple option would be to use twisty ties, you can pickup a bunch at the grocery store.....I can't imagine that's an original idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIbor Posted August 11, 2006 Share Posted August 11, 2006 I used to use zip ties, but like the prevoius post suggests. When it comes time to move a wire or two you have to cut them off. I have found at the rat shack a black plastic tubing that as a slit in the middle from one end to the other in comes in all sizes from quarter inch round to two inches round. You can put about 6 sets of speaker wire in one of the larger split tubings and it looks very clean. I would post a pic if anyone is interested Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
