Unorganized cables can be dangerous and messy but it can be managed using floor cable protector for instance, so the following are variants for cable management are available:
Ring-Like Bundling With Cable Ties
The view suggests that cable ties are the ultimate in cable management. It is easy to wrap all the cables you need in a ring of the same size and fix them with the so-called “suspenders.” The disillusionment follows when one of these cables has to be removed again, for example, because a device is to be relocated.
For this type of fastening, the consideration is that only all cables are bundled in a common ring, which can also remain there for a long period.
Cable Harness With Cable Ties
With this type of cable management bundling, all existing cables are parallel to each other. They have bundled around with cable ties at even intervals of a maximum of 20 centimeters. This variant has the advantage that each cable can be swiveled out of the bundle at the point where it is needed. Otherwise, the same applies to this variant about the long-term nature of joint bundling.
Cable Harness With A Cable Hose
The specialist trade for cable management offers so-called cable hoses for laying several flexible cables together. They are made of plastic and are available in two different types. On the one hand, these are spiral hoses that, as their name suggests, are wrapped in a spiral around the cables sorted into the cable harness. These spiral hoses are also often referred to as spiral cables.
To remove a cable, however, the entire spiral hose must be unwound again. On the other hand, there are also professional cable hoses with click fasteners at regular intervals. They allow it to be partially reopened when a cable is to be removed. A big advantage is that these spiral hoses are very cheap.
Cable Laying In The Skirting Trunking
There are several manufacturers who offer skirting trunking via electrical retailers, the Internet, or well-stocked hardware stores. These are plastic ducts with a removable top that are laid in place of the baseboard. There are also equipment racks with sockets or empty housings that can be equipped with data and telephone sockets or other components as required.
If such skirting board ducts have already been dimensioned sufficiently large when installed, connection cables that are otherwise loosely hanging can also be accommodated in them. Another advantage of this type of installation is that the cabling is accessible and changeable at any time, which makes cable management particularly easier.
