CABLE MANAGEMENT IDEAS

CABLE TURTLE

Presenting the cable turtle computer cord organizers: it takes your excess cable and hides it in its own shell. Do you ever have a situation where you have a six-foot cord when all you need is a one-foot cord?

With the ultra-convenient and good-looking Cable Turtle electric wire managers, you can keep unsightly electric wire and cable out of sight. Simply wind the excess wire around the open Cable Turtle organizer, close the shell, and all unnecessary wires are neatly tucked away!

So this means all these are needed for managing cables in Racks…

Think Again…

CABLE MANAGEMENT ART

See again, none of the Racks shown had any of these accessories…

Which means even we can achieve the same very easily…

Can we actually make it a practice that at least our devices display the best of cabling?

Some day the customer may get impressed and be willing to allow us do cable management for all the Racks?

Probably another source of revenue!

Not a distant thought certainly…

We have received the first calls already…

But are we willing to take this step ahead…
