Organize Cords

RE: Organize Cords By Steve (Guest Post) I've tried keeping cords organized for years. I usually unplug everything & untangle. But i found a solution that reduces this problem. I found it at www.organizedcablecord.com Easy to use, inexpensive. I am using them to solve just about every cord problem in my house and office. Also www.cablecordorganizer.com Same site. You wrap the cord around the gadget and can have any length cord you want (except longer than the cord itself, of course!) You can even store the cords wrapped around this gadget. There's a thingy for both big & small cords.

Like the newer dog leashes in holders? Perhaps wound round and down a long plastic or light metal tube like tin-foil unwraps from a tupe, but in tight circles... oy. There is likely a business that does nothing but make rewrapping devices. Some 12-y-old inventor probably has the answer. Posted on 09/12/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By sherriff (3) Contact The way that cords come is a clue I suppose. Christmas lights come on a cardboard card with notches. One circled around, one notch. Some thin plastic cords just won't be kept untangled by looping them and tying them off with shoelaces. The band equipment idea seems the same exept for the 90-degree angle of the arm. 90-degrees. Remind me if that is the elbow is out straight? I'm tempted to get something entirely differnet that resembles the christmas cord idea. I don't suppose these big stores like Home Depot have such ideas? If not, I'm tempted to make some sort of small, non-sharp fork-end shape. The way thin cords come in thier pachages is about as easy to duplicate as re-folding a very large map quickly while sitting at the steering wheel on a very hot day. Sometimes it's easy (if the chord is only 10 feet long... nearly impossible if longer than that. The "twistem-shoelace-pony-tailholder" ideas only work for me with thick or short wires. The "figure 8" has not worked terribly well for me with long hoses or any other long cords. Posted on 09/12/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By Anonymous (Guest Post) Use Cable Ties! For cables that are rarely used, get ones in a nice color. For frequently used ones, get the releasable kind! They are re-usable and always stay in good shape. They come in various lengths and have been very useful for me. Posted on 07/07/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By Odette (Guest Post) Hair clamps. They're available at dollar stores in various styles and sizes. I've been buying them to keep cords organized. Or you may already have some from your kids stuff that they don't use anymore. It's so easy to use and cheap too. Posted on 11/25/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By Doyle (Guest Post) Contact "Cable Clamp" on the Internet. They have the best answer to cable storage.

I then put them in an old duffle bag. kn Posted on 03/11/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By KristaLove (Guest Post) Twisty ties!!! (you get a bunch when you buy trash bags) If the cord is too long (ie. from computer to wall outlet) then bunch it up accordian style then wrap a twisty tie around it. You wont have excess amount of cords cluttered around your PCU! This works for phone cords, tv's, fans, etc!!!

Posted on 02/14/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By (Guest Post) A good ole elastic band works too. However I do use the toilet paper/paper towel rolls too, that way I can write on it, what it is and which appliance it is used for. Posted on 02/13/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By Joan Cooper (Guest Post) I put computer cords that I connected to a stip plug into a basket on the floor under the computer desk. It is neater than the cords just lying loose. Posted on 02/13/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Organize Cords By pilar1 (3) Contact I USE EMPTY TOILET PAPER TUBES. THEY;RE SMALL ENOUGH TO PUT IN A SHOE BOX FOR STORAGE. WHAT I DO IS LABEL THE ROLL IE EXTENSION 2 FT, PHONE CORD, ETC THEN I STUFF IT IN THEN STORE IN THE SHOE BOX.

It keeps them neat and you can write on the roll what appliance it belongs to. Hope this helps Posted on 02/11/2005 | Report Spam or Abuse
