The Benefits Of Using A Cable Caddy

By Eugenia Dickerson


Most homes and businesses need to use cables at some point. The problem is that over time the lengths can get bent and twisted, sometimes resulting in excessive tension and time wasted untangling them. One way to avoid this is to use a cable caddy.

In simple terms a cable caddy is a small piece of material designed to bind wires and cables together. What this material is will depend on what you need to bind together. With thicker industrial cables you are likely to use a more sturdy metal while a plastic one is better suited for offices and home use.

The problem is that you may not necessarily want to stop watching your television or playing your games console because you are trying to sell your home. Therefore having the cables kept clipped together and neat can maintain a well presented look to your home while at the same time allowing you to live in it!

It can also be used for your desktop computer. This allows you to keep your computer in place and means you do not have to fumble around to keep things in position. This can then save you time so you can keep working. You can either use them free standing or stick them down with some adhesive tapes on the side of your desk to keep everything in place.

There is also the additional bonus in terms of safety. Keeping cables tied together reduces the risk of people tripping over them. It does not matter if you are in an office, at home or in a factory if you can reduce the risk of people falling over then you ought to. This is especially important in the office and you have a lot of people running about. The good thing with caddies is that they can be free standing or can be used on the side of desks with adhesive tape.

When choosing caddies check to make sure they fit what you need. In the case of industrial purposes you are likely to be using thick cable so it is worth investing in sturdy caddies that can handle a lot of weight. With thinner wires for home or office use then a plastic one will usually be appropriate.

Caddies allow you to keep the wires bunched up together rather than separate and spread out around the floor. This then makes it easier if you need to remove items as you are not trying to untangle a load of wires. As with a business environment it also removes a trip hazard in your home, something that is especially important if you have children!

You can find a number of cable caddy products online. It is best to look at a number of retailers and manufacturers in order to compare what is available as well as asking for feedback. This will make it easier to make an informed choice and find the right product to suit your needs.
