Cluttered and tangled wires making your home or office look lousy and unprofessional? It’s time to consider some serious tidying up in your workstation. Desk wire management is not often in the list of everyone’s priorities, but it’s actually crucial not just for keeping a space clean but also safe. Wire hazards are a real threat, and among the common causes of these hazards are cables and wires left hanging loose or lying around on the floor.

Fortunately, once you decide to do something about the wires in your desk or workstation, you’ll find that there are several materials available that can help you find a safe place for your wires and cables.
