That’s a great idea, plus you can label them on the outside of the roll!

I mostly use assorted small cardboard boxes – usually from computer peripherals.

Hehe

I just noticed the empty drawer just below the pile.

Hm.

If you have Ethernet cables that are old or have damaged ends in your pile just sacrifice them to make your own cable ties. Cut it into pieces as long as you need to wrap your other cables and in each section you cut you get four twist ties.

Cheap, readily at hand, and if the cables were bad you can call it recycling.

Buy a refrigerator box, write “CABLES” on every side and put all cables in the box

It’s called Simply Tidy: Photo and Craft Keeper. Also fits 3.5 inch HDDs.

I was about to ask if you could show off some of your assorted cables, then I couldn’t stop thinking of Professor Farnsworth

Fry: Whoa! A real live spaceship!

Prof. Farnsworth: I designed it myself. Let me show you some of the different lengths of wire I used.
