Magnetic cable organizer (vertical)

Idea from customer Markus Laire from Finland:

You can use the bottom side of any shelf to neatly hang cables: Just attach one or more strips of self-adhesive metal tape 35 mm to the bottom of a shelf, press on firmly, and place discreet white magnetic hooks FTNW-16 on the tape. Now you can conveniently sort and hang up your cables.

Note from the supermagnete team:

We also carry coloured glue-on metal strips in various colours (black, red, blue, green) in case your shelf is not white.
Shelves used on both sides are also the topic of the project Creating storage space in the pantry

Organising cables with the help of magnets

Addition by Andreas zum Winkel from Germany:
Thanks to an iron bookend, 2 screws and 6 small hook magnets FTN-10, I was able to end the cable mess inside my drawers. I screwed the bookend upside down to the desk and attached the hook magnets.

Now the cables can be looped through the hooks. A simple and practical solution.

Neodymium rod magnets S-05-08-N can also be utilised on the bookend. Use them to easily attach USB and similar plugs.

Magnetic cable organizer (horizontal)

Addition from customer G.C. from Switzerland:

I have an external screen and a mouse that I can connect with my laptop. But I often have my laptop in my bag, which leaves cable clutter on my desk (4 different cables).

In order to change that I placed W-05-N cube magnets along the stem of my metal desk lamp. Now, I can attach almost every cable to a cube magnet (see picture below).

Only the Internet cable is not magnetic, so I cut off the tip of a paper clip and attached it to the Internet cable with some adhesive tape. Now, also the Internet cable adheres to a magnet.
