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 ;)

Yesterday I stumbled upon this site: https://sea-reelgood.com/ and it looks like they touch on cable management and optimization for different industries. I haven’t had the time to explore it fully yet, but it seems promising. Has anyone here used their resources before, or do you know of other sites that provide a structured approach to cable handling management?
