There’s no shortage of cable management solutions out there for sorting out the wire mess on the folding desk in your bedroom or behind the TV stand, each one with their own pros and cons. Some solutions put the cables out of the way, but they remain a bundled mess, while others just stop being feasible once the amount of cables you’re managing grow to a certain number. The WireStax looks to offer a new solution that minimizes those downsides.
Like many cable management solutions, it’s designed to help you tidy up a messy pile of cables, making it easier to tuck them away out of sight. However, it also separates the cables tidily, so you can easily tell each one apart, all while being modular and scalable, so you can use it with large bundles of wires for more complicated equipment setups.
The WireStax is a plastic cable organizer, each one coming with a half dozen slots for tidying up six different cables at the same time. Because each cable is held in its own slot, it’s easy to identify which cable goes into what device, making it easy to remove or replace cables without having to sift through a confusing bundle of wires. It also helps you eliminate tangles, which can make sorting through bundles an absolute nightmare. According to the outfit, the slots are easily adjustable to ensure a perfect fit for any size of cable, ensuring the cable organizer stays in place wherever you put it, with zero chance of slipping.
The plastic components can snap together and pull apart easily without any tools, making everything perfectly reusable. That means, you can easily take out a cable if you’re no longer using it without having to mess up the rest of the cables you have tidied up in the bundle.
The WireStax is stackable, so you can add six slots on top of the original six, then add six more and so on. This makes it useful for managing large bundles of cable like you would have in a home theater, music studio, or data center, allowing you to keep everything in one place while still keeping each one separated to avoid tangles. Each organizer comes with flat sides, as well, so you can set them down on a table or attach them to a surface using double-sided tape. This makes it possible to set up your cable organization in different ways, such as running the cables up a wall, under the table, or along the edges of a room.
Aside from the WireStax, the outfit is also selling a variation of the design called the Corner Caddy, which is designed to install along the edges of a table, giving you an easy way to tidy up how cables run down from the desk. The design allows you to stack multiple WireStax panels to the Corner Caddy, too, allowing it to accommodate as many cables as you need to organize in one place. According to the outfit, their design for the WireStax is successfully patented, so you won’t be able to get this kind of solution from anywhere else.
A Kickstarter campaign is currently running for the WireStax. You can reserve a set for pledges starting at $15.
