How to Manage, Secure, and Protect Your USB Cables

Cables tangled on the floor. Cords strung all over the studio. It’s a mess, looks unprofessional and is a safety hazard. Thankfully we have a few cable management tools to keep you organized.

Keep Your Cables Managed With ProTab Cable Ties

Whether routing one cable or a dozen, take advantage of coiling and grouping whenever you can to keep them tidy, out of the way and secure at all times. With JerkStopper ProTab Cable Ties, you can coil and secure cables, or use the tie to keep cables in one line from ports to ports. These cable ties are also good for storing cables because the ties prevent them from becoming tangled. This works much better than tape, which can leave a sticky residue. And don’t forget – these come in a pack of 10, so you should have plenty for the job.    

Secure Your Gear and Route Cables with a StrapMoore

Ever wish a tripod had arms so it could hold more than just a camera? Now it can. The StrapMoore is one of our most versatile products, holding laptop power bricks, speedlights, and much more! It can also be a great tool at securing your cables to your tripod, keeping them routed towards the floor and in your desired direction. The two leg securing straps are adjustable and can be attached to any pole or beam as small as ¼” (0.362 cm) and as large as 3” (7.62cm) in diameter. The object holding strap is adjustable as well and can accommodate any item as small as ¼” (0.362cm) and as large as 3.5” (8.9cm) in diameter. To secure items larger than 3”, the StrapMoore Extender is available. The Extender can hold objects up to 5.5”.

Protect Your Cable Ends with the JerkStopper Extension Lock

The JerkStopper Extension Lock is an effective locking device for cables and cords that keeps your cable ends protected from frustrating disconnects, damage, and electrical hazards. The simple clam-shell design enables you to simply close the JerkStopper Extension Lock around each end of the cable or cord, and then twist to lock the cords securely and safely together. The patented JerkStopper Extension Lock protects the sensitive electronic cable ends and stops unwanted disconnects for USB extension cables, HDMI cables with couplers, and protects power cords for lighting and tools.
