I'm after some of those cable storage devices which are sort of slots
with floppy edges into which you can push cables for storage. You
mount them on a wall or whatever and the cables hang down, they
usually look a bot messy but keep the cables fairly untangled for when
you want to use them.

They're generally for storing cables with plugs on the end, mains
cables, audio cables, etc.

Does anyone know what they're called or where one might buy them?

Closest I can think of is cable management systems, used in comms
racks to keep all the CAT5 tidy. Stuff like this:
http://www.cmwltd.co.uk/catalogue.asp?cat=E11
or this:
http://www.cmwltd.co.uk/catalogue.asp?cat=E9

But I suspect that these operate at right angles to what you're
looking for.

==================================
It's easy to make one. Take a piece of 3" x 1" timber about 3' long. Drill
a row of holes (5/8" diameter approx) about 1" in from one edge. Cut a
slot from the edge into each hole wide enough to accept your cable sizes.
Hang the whole thing on a wall. Forget the floppy restraints - the cables
will stay in place under their own weight.

Yes, and they're "cable management" rather than "cable storage"
systems. I'm looking for the sort of thing I remember having at work
(electronics development) back in the 1960s and 1970s. They were
fixed to the wall and one hung 'scope leads, interconnecting cables,
mains leads, etc. on them.

Very true, I may well do this, especially as I have a router which
makes cutting the slots even easier.

Not floppy edges though.

That almost smacks of "gold plated mains cables"! :-) However it
does give a picture to work to for making one's own.

Thanks for the ideas everyone.

Everywhere I've worked in use a version of coat hooks for this. There is
(was) a popular system that used a sort of grid that allowed special ones
to be clipped in where needed. Think it may have been Dexion.

I know that RS sell something like that (little plastic prongs on a metal
bar) but I could not locate them on their website.

But if Canford did gold plated mains cables they would be genuine BBC

You should see how much they charge for a "doorknob" cable hanger...

They are utter ****e, nasty construction, stupid design - small waste
water container, can't grind beans, only has a manual coffee container,
wastes hidden deep inside the case, nowhere to warm cups, no strength
control and they can't make a decent ristretto. They are only sold to
people who want a Miele label and who don't know what coffee should
taste like. They will spend £1750 on a machine then fill it with Douwe
Egberts pre-ground pencil shavings.

If you want decent coffee the starting point is a Saeco 30320 Royal
Professional. If you want decent coffee beans the starting point is
Illy.

Not only is the Saeco head and shoulders above the Miele in terms of the
coffee it makes, it's also half the price.
