Audio/Video cable Organizer

[RM1111]

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,

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:

(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:

And then it looks like PE has a buyout on some velcro stuff:

Hope this helps.

I'm surprised nobody else has chimed in. There's a lot of crazy creative dudes on the forum.

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.

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
