      I have a huge black box which is unlabeled, toss it in there and more frequently used cables automatically migrate to the top.

      Just put each cable, or set of cables, into a ziplock bag. No more tangle, no twist ties, no need to label.

    The organization is nice, but labeled bins isn’t really an “idea”. Like I had this great idea to add butter to my toast!

    I use a shoe box with ‘empty’ toilet rolls for myne, stack the cardboard toilet rolls vertically like a honeycomb and put a coiled cable in each with the ends pointing up so you can see what they are.

        Not who you asked, but if the rolls are glued down, it’ll damage the box if you ever have to replace a tube, whereas your can replace a roll once it’s worn out if they aren’t glued down. Also glue makes it less directly recyclable when replacing them.

    These go on sale at Michael’s all the time. I like using these for electronic components, very handy to keep little parts organized. Think they’re a little tight for most cables, I like plastic shoe boxes for those.
