Cable Mgmt, how the hell do you guys do it?

I also use a labeler. Print the label and stick is to the cable. Then use a clear piece of heat shrink over the top.

That's a great idea! I might trying making somthing similar only I'll use a old road case and some large diameter conduit.

I tie up my loose cables with elastic bands, but it doesn't really work so well for long XLRs and such. I'm probably going to invest in some velcro ties at some stage.

As for those currently in use- I don't It's a huge mess behind my decks. D:

Take it from an old IT guy, snag a roll of velcro.

Zip ties can make everything look fantastic and clean, but only use them on stuff you don't plan on moving or changing. The problem with them is you add one more cable or need to move something and you're cutting them all off and re-doing them.

The Velcro ties\wraps they sell are also a pain in the ass. You have to punch out the little slot and wrestle with them to get them just right.

A plain old roll of Velcro is by far the easiest thing to use. Grab a pair of scissors and cut off the perfect length and you're done.

I use Velcro ties. Bought a pack of 100 off eBay for about $10.

Yup.

Even better than the zip ties because they're re-usable.

I also bought a briefcase sized aluminum case from Home Depot, specifically made for cable and/or tool management.
