Currently they’re in types in ziploc baggies but there must be a better way
the baggies:
- USB A > USB C
- USB C <> USB C
- USB A > USB B Micro
- Ethernet
- HDMI to different sized HDMI
- HDMI to USB B
- HDMI to other USB
- HDMI to HDMI
- USB female to male and extenders
- Dongles, converters, and USB hubs
- VGA
- USB A to lightning bolt
- A few old ipod charging cables
Not pictured: separate drawer for guitar cables, XLR, headphones jack to jack and adapters, phono and midi; separate duffel bag for long power cables; separate baggie in another drawer for international adapters and plugs
For those that haven’t yet discovered them, reusable cable ties exist. They make keeping cables properly coiled a lot easier. No more rat kings!
You can also just buy an entire reel of velcro tape and cut pieces as needed.
If you have Ethernet cables that are old or have damaged ends in your pile just sacrifice them to make your own cable ties. Cut it into pieces as long as you need to wrap your other cables and in each section you cut you get four twist ties.
Cheap, readily at hand, and if the cables were bad you can call it recycling.
