Hooray for the Troll! He dug around under my desk and got all those cables sorted. As I suspected, putting them all together in a single bundle wasn't possible, but he got most of them contained in two bundles--bound together with twist ties, and then covered up with some pipe insulation we had left over. He also made handy labels for the cords so that I can tell what each one is, should I ever have to unplug them. Did I mention that he was wonderful?

Cable chaos controlled

I've used pipe insulation for many things, but never considered it for controlling the rat’s nest of cables at the back of the computer desk. I will use the pieces left over from my Halloween costume to make things neater in our office. Thanks for the great idea.
