Wrangle Your Cables with Paper Towel Tubes

Wrangle Your Cables with Paper Towel Tubes

While it might not be as effective as a rain gutter, a paper towel or toilet paper tube can get the job done for simple cable management behind your desk.

All you have to do is cut the tube open lengthwise, and feed your cables through. You could do it without cutting, but this makes it a lot easier to work with. Once you're satisfied, just attach it to the back of your desk to filter all of your cables through one spot. I set mine on a windowsill behind the desk because I didn't have any duct tape at home, but that would work well assuming there's not too much weight or tension on the cables inside.

Obviously, this isn't going to solve all of your cable management needs, but it's a free, halfway way to route them somewhere a little less visible. This trick doesn't have to be limited to just desks, either. As we've previously mentioned, these tubes also work great

for holding your spare cables in storage without any tangles.
