Da hell do you guys do with all these extra cables and cords?

[Mr Hate Coffee]

I just moved and I have about 15 HDMI cords, and numerous USB cords, apple lightning cables, etc.

I used to keep them in case I needed extra but now I have a ton.

I assume most of yall are technophiles and always coppin new gear... so what do you do with your extra cords?

 

[DragonKnight]

Send me them lightning cables

 

[KickPush]

Throw them right in a draw somewhere and call it a day

 

[Arcavian]

Sort them with Velcro then throw them somewhere dark

I roll them up, zip tie them and throw them in a drawer I'm not using for clothes. Got a bunch of USB, HDMI, AC cords and even batteries and remotes in that shyt. Annoying to look through when I want something but I almost always find what I need.

I just keep them, but I'm in the same boat as you breh. I have so many cords that I have just stashed away. I legit need to sort them out and deem which ones are trash. I just ordered like 4 more cables for my office this week for new monitors. Then they came with 2 cables each, so that's 8 more cables in my home

What I really need to know is what yal doing for cable management, because my office right now is a mess in that department. My shyt is like a command center right now...

I saw a video recently, where dude had all his cables out the way and a rack under his desk, shyt soo smooth I'm a have to emulate it

Best buy takes them off your hands for free, I dropped off a cart full of old electronics and it was nothing. Didn't even by anything just left it with the associates.

That's what I been doing but moving will have you lookin at shyt like "why do I have so many of these?"

Good idea. I forgot about that. I drop off old cellphones and computer shyt to them all the time.

Yep because you will need them eventually. The only cords obsolete to me are cable coax cords and telephone wires

 

[Hey_zeus]

I keep the extras(just a few) in a a box inside my linen closet in case i have to replace any. I had to pull out a coaxial that been put away for a min because my new spot connection is further away than my older one. Had ethernets or hdmi break so it's good to have some backups.

 

[levitate]

Every several years I just throw them shyts away.

I hate hanging on to stuff that I don't regularly use.

In the bottom drawer

Yup, coaxial cables actually rot and deteriorate over time.
