High Tech, Low Clutter: How To Organize Your Electronics

It can be tempting to want to add all the newest technology available to your home or office, but eventually, all those electronics are going to start looking a bit messy. Wires and cables tend to create a lot of extra clutter, not to mention creating confusion as to what cable connects to which port or outlet. Here are some tips to help you get that clutter under control and keep your electronics neat and tidy.

  • Color code: Have all the electronics you need ready to go, but can’t find the right power cord to get your system working? Use color coding to keep your wires organized. Use different colors to separate HDMI cables, power cords, computer accessories, and so on.
  • Location, location, location: Make sure you keep your electronics as near to outlets and ports as possible when deciding where to install them. This reduces the amount of wire clutter you’ll have to deal with. If you do have to install electronics farther from ports, make sure you plan out how you’ll be hooking it up in advance, or consider adding an extra wall plate to accommodate the addition.
  • Built-in solutions: If you’re planning on adding a lot of electronics to your space, consider designing for lots of electronic use at the outset. Make sure to mark spaces in your design for organizational elements and outlets, including HDMI plates for walls, brush wall plates, and more.
  • Right equipment for the job: With technology constantly evolving, it’s easy to accidentally hold onto outdated wires and equipment that takes up unnecessary space. Make sure your cables are able to support your newer technology, and if not, clear out what you don’t need and aren’t using. Even though 10 Mbps (Megabits per second) Ethernet cable is suitable most personal use, network cables rated up to 100 Mbps can be used to achieve a faster Internet connection.

Electronics can create a lot of clutter fairly quickly, but with the right tips and tools to manage it, it’s easy to simplify your set up. For electronics accessories to help you organize your system, including wall plates and audio visual needs, contact Buyer’s Point today.
