Kabelmanagement 101: Ihren Arbeitsplatz organisieren

## Why Cable Management Matters

Beyond aesthetics, proper cable management:
- Prevents accidental disconnections
- Reduces signal interference between power and data cables
- Makes troubleshooting easier
- Improves airflow around devices

## Essential Tools

1. **Cable ties** (velcro, not zip ties — reusable)
2. **Cable tray** under your desk
3. **Cable clips** for desk edge routing
4. **Label maker** or colored tape for identification
5. **Right-angle adapters** to reduce strain

## Step-by-Step

1. Unplug everything and start fresh
2. Group cables by destination (monitor group, USB group, power group)
3. Route power cables separately from signal cables
4. Use the cable tray for excess length
5. Secure bundles with velcro ties every 30cm
6. Label both ends of each cable

## Pro Tips

- Measure before buying: too-long cables create bulk, too-short cables create strain
- Keep 10cm slack at connection points for stress relief
- Never sharply bend fiber optic or coaxial cables
