How To Organize Computer Wires Anchorage AK

Steps

1. Move your desk enough so that you have enough working space.
2. Get all the supplies listed below and turn off your power supply, whatever it may be.
3. Tape all the wires together with your electrical tape (see Things You'll Need below) that share the same device/type (i.e. Audio with Audio or Monitor Video w/ Monitor Power, etc.).
4. Push your desk back to the wall (or whatever it's up against) and turn on the power on the power supply.
5. That's it! You have now organized your desk wires!

Tips

• Try to tape all the wires together with two or more wraps around the group of wires.
• When it's time to branch off the wires, or even just one wire from the rest of the group (i.e. Monitor Power > Outlet.), make a "wire highway" on/off ramp, and another tip with the off ramp is that you should tape right at the "off-ramp."
• Don't use scotch tape with this, it won't hold as good as electrical tape and it's annoying to work with for some store brands.

Warnings

• Please, please! Turn off your power before doing this! Who knows how bad you can be shocked?
• If you don't feel confident using a [pocket] knife with this project, don't use it. Just use the scissors.

Things You'll Need

• A [pocket] knife and/or scissors
• Electrical Tape
