Cable Management - Ideas?

[bsodmike]

Hiyas,

As I'm still testing my HT and haven't even got my surrounds installed - the cabling is temporary...yes a temporary rats nest!

My HT 'rack' has a 4" section at the back, along which I can route alot of these cables hiding them from view and improving the management aspect of things. This bit is shown fairly clearly below:

Since that shot I've added a 'middle' divider and along this I can route/hide the wire running to the centre speaker no problem.

So my question is simply, where can I get something that'll stick on this and I personally prefer something velcro based. I don't want to just use the first thing I come across as I really don't want to ruin this HT rack...

The management harness should also allow for expandability. Advice and comments will be greatly appreciated.

I'd just get some corrugated cable sleeving, and velcro that to the rack, and use zip ties to keep the cables within it.

Right now I'm using the old "coil it under the TV stand" method, which works since I have a 19" rackmount powerstrip (connectors are on the back, power switch, LEDS, and two unused power jacks are on the front...looks kinda cool sitting there) sitting right under the front of the stand, which hides all the cable coils nicely.

Radio Shack has flexable conduit and velcro cable ties for dirt cheap. Between the two you can make a pretty clean setup segregating audio, video and power cords.

I'd wire tie the video and audio cables together down one side of your rack. Encase that in the split loom cable conduit.

I'd then zip the power cables down the other side, and also encase that in splitloom as well.

Yep, what he said....
