Cable management is the difference between a desk that looks designed and one that looks temporary. You do not need a full under-desk tray system to start — you need a plan.
1. Group by destination
Separate monitor power, laptop charge, and peripherals. Bundle each group with soft Velcro ties before routing anything under the desk.
2. Leave service loops
Leave a little slack near ports so you can move a laptop or dock without yanking connectors.
3. Use one power hub
A quality surge-protected hub under the desk reduces wall-outlet clutter and makes nightly shutdowns easier.
