Hey
everyone,
I’m in
charge of organizing a mid-sized production space for our company,
and we’ve recently expanded the amount of equipment we’re using.
Between new machinery, additional monitors, and all the peripheral
devices that come with them, our workplace has turned into this
jungle of cables that no one really knows how to manage
properly.
At
first, I thought it would be as simple as tying them up neatly,
labeling a few, and hiding them under the desks. But once we added
heavier equipment, longer cable runs, and connections that cross
between different departments, it quickly turned into something
much bigger. What I didn’t realize is how much bad cable management
can cost you—not only in terms of safety (tripping hazards,
overheating, tangling) but also in downtime when something fails
and no one knows which cable goes where. It’s embarrassing to
admit, but we’ve literally had situations where a single misplaced
or damaged cable took down part of the system for hours because we
couldn’t trace it fast enough.
I’ve
been researching how larger companies manage their cables more
effectively—not just hiding them, but actually creating a system
that optimizes performance, safety, and even cost-efficiency in the
long run. I came across a few generic tips online (like color
coding, labeling, and using cable trays), but I feel like there’s a
lot more depth to this topic that’s often overlooked. Especially
when you think about things like sustainability, lifecycle costs of
cables, and making the whole setup flexible enough to adapt to
future changes.

Hi
@thilo
Your issue is purely an IT problem.
Here we discuss films and hardware in the consumer TV/player/sound
equipment sector, which unfortunately has little in common with
your professional area.
My tip:
Seek out contact with the IT departments of friendly companies and
discuss the topic with them.
Everyone has found their own system for their application ;)
