1. Vari Cable Management Tray
Since this can accommodate heavy items, it needs to be fixed using screws and not adhesive strips. This is a huge plus since it reassures you that the product will not fall off. While this tray solves the issue of dangling cables and power adapters in standing desks, it’s not enough. If you want a clean wire-free look behind your standing desk, you will also want to invest in cable ties and clips. The Vari Cable Management Tray has a premium price tag and is the perfect pick if you want a fuss-free installation.
2. S Stand Under Desk Cable Management Tray
If we talk numbers, the smaller variant measures around a 48-inch tray should be a good pick if you have standing desks like the VIVO Manual or the one by EleTab. Build-wise, this metallic tray is sturdy and designed to take the weight of most power adapters, power strips, and thick cables. And well, several people have praised this feature as part of their reviews. Installation is simple and is done using screws. Since it’s an upside-down installation, it’s best recommended to fix this tray when the desk is unassembled.
3. Alex Tech Cable Sleeve
And that’s not all. This cable sleeve has slits/holes in between. So, should you need to take out a few cables, you can do so. At the same time, you can cut cable as per your preference. Alex Tech also ships a cable installation tool along with the sleeve. As you may have guessed already, this one helps you put the cables inside the tubing. The reception of this product has been great so far, with users loving the easy installation process. Plus, it can also wrap around particularly thick cords with ease. Just note not to overcrowd the tubing.
4. Huanuo Under Desk CPU Mount
Apart from easing the movement of wires, this one also proves to be a space saver. All you need to do find the perfect spot to mount beneath your table. At the same time, it has a 360-degree swivel and lets you adjust the position as per your preference. You just need to keep the space free around the CPU if you plan to swivel the mount both ways. It comes with the usual bells and whistles like foam pads to keep the CPU scratch-free. Again installation requires skill since it’s an upside-down job. However, some users have reported it to be a straightforward job as long as you flip your desk while installing.
Rise Above the Clutter
Apart from the cable management accessories above, it’s a good idea to invest in quality cable holder clips (like the ones from Soulwit) or a few magnetic silicon ties to help you in the process. The former especially comes in handy for phone charging cables and data cables, while the latter simplifies trying up loose cables.
