We have power and cables that run along some outside walls. These cable ties snugly keep the cables in order. But, they're still black and very noticeable against white walls.

Seattle Cable Purse + Velcro Straps
Submitted by Matt Conway
For managing the many cables I might need when on the road, my shoulder bag contains a smaller zippered bag with cables and other small objects (SD cards, thumb drives, iPhone battery, etc).
Here, I am showing a USB cable that goes to my portable USB hub, held together with a small velcro strap to keep it from getting unruly and tangled up with everything else.

Seattle Ratchet Cable clamp
Submitted by Matt Conway
Problem:
When carrying around a macbook pro power supply, sometimes I just need to wrap things up fast. I know that with care and some time, I can wrap the fat part of the cord around the brick in one direction and keep it in place with the thin cord but that's a bit fussy and I'm impatient. Trying to stow a powercord into my shoulder bag without doing *something* feels like I'm wrestling a 8' long grass snake into a sack.
Solution:
I use a cheap but very sturdy ratchet cable clamp I got at a hardware store. They come in packages and a ton of different sizes, including giant ones that can secure garden hoses etc. See: http://www.cableclamp.com/Sea-Clamp-Information.html
Another nice benefit: Once unwrapped, I reset the clamp onto my power supply cord and just let it hang out there. It has the effect of marking my power supply as uniquely mine. Nobody's walked off with mine since using this clamp. Hadn't really appreciated that side effect when I first started using it.

Milano Wire Bundle

Plugging and unplugging made easier. Bundling helps to make cords into a single unit, and when unplugging, the cords stay put.

Chatham Boat / Cabin
Submitted by Judith Hoogenboom
Multiple cables and lines run through the interior of the boat cabin. On boats, it’s imperative that everything stay put and out of the way of passengers and other objects. Cables and cords are bundled and tied off throughout, but not hidden. Immediate access is also an imperative.
