Cable Tidy-ing

[Vini]

Ive got oodles of cables behind my TV and im wanting to tidy them up. Not being one for imagination or patience, I just usually sling em in and leave em. Theyre behind the telly, who can see them?

Well, having looked around a few places at cable tidies, ive got into the idea of having them really neat. So what tools and/or equipment are best? Im looking for a no spend or little spend fix. Just trying to make it look semi decent and tidy.

Will probably just end up cable tieing them, but what about those JML zip tie things? anyone know of any good tips or tricks?

I use a simple plastic sleeve for tidying my cables. The sleeve has a split down the middle and comes with a tool that you feed the cable into. You then just pull the tool up the length of the cable which opens and then closes the sleeve behind it leaving all of your cables nicely wrapped.

Some of these can be expensive, but some cheapy shops have them and I bought mine for £1 per 3 metere strip (with tool).

Ikea do velcro wraps and white or black "corrugated" tubing for cable tidying. Dead cheap too. They work well for me :)
HTH,

Yeah, I too use the ones from Ikea and they work really well.
