Any time you have a computer, you have cables. And cable management, while not a major concern for most, is important when considering the visual presentation of an office or classroom, and for risk and safety management. Because a jumble of wires and cables usually snake across the floor and wind up stuffed into surge protectors, they are usually where they can be easily tripped on or accidentally yanked out by a vacuum cleaner.

Adding an easy-to-install cable management system can clean up the appearance of offices of and school classrooms, and ensure that wires won’t be inadvertently pulled out of expensive computer equipment. Most wire management kits pull the cables together and confine them to the sides or back of the computer desk frame, reducing the number of “pull points” where a cable can be forced away from the larger structure.
