Tubes to put wires into
Looking for a name to google for this:
I have wires laying under every table that I use for laptops and videos, TV and the like. What is the name of a tube -- or something of that nature -- that I can gather up these wires and keep them more together. Whatta mess! Thanks. Dee |

Dee They have these spiral wraps you can get to wrap around the wires. At the very least twist ties will do the job well enough. http://www.waytekwire.com/spiral-wrap-tubing.htm |

You can find them at most office supply stores or home improvement centers. Look for cable protectors. http://search.cableorganizer.com/sea...loor&view=list http://tinyurl.com/2evv8f [8~{} Uncle Monster |

Dee There are dozens of choices, from wire ties to velcro, to formed cable protectors, to the corrugated stuff used in cars and network wiring. (Commonly called 'smurf tube', although I personally have only seen orange, yellow, and black, never blue.) Forget the office supply place or big-box computer store- ask a working geek or look online under LAN wiring supplies. I think they call it 'cable management'. aem sends.... |

Dee I'll add to other suggestions that it is generally advised not to bundle AC power cords with signal wires, due to possibility of interference. |

Dee A product called "Wiremold" may work but it's designed more for long runs along walls, across ceilings, etc. Sometimes known by it's generic term of "raceway". You'll find it at hardware stores. Comes in vinyl that can be split apart, or steel. Of course, the Velcro strips that computer techs use are nice, and "zip-ties" also work. |
