    I need to do something better than one chaotic crate of stuff that I'm sitting on until I need it again.

    Instead of one big chaotic crate, I utilize several smaller ones ;)

    I hang my cables in my closet. I learned that from an audiophile who had $20k worth of cables in his closet.

    @YMO, that would be an audiophool, unless he was a cable wholesaler.

    (If anybody bothers to look ---perhaps because they need the space--- they will be finding off audio and computer cables, adapters, etc, around here for ages after I'm gone!)

    Labeled plastic baggies by type in a bin. HDMI cords and adapters, usb cables by micro, c, A, etc.

    like every other god-loving american, I keep all my cables in at least 14 different rat's nests of drawers labeled "junk."

    Like some of the others, I have a bunch of big ziploc bags for sorting and stash everything into a big box. Several boxes. Actually rolling cases, because I have enough gear to setup for a 30 piece band. Anyhow, I also have cable ties or twist ties on nearly everything.

    The long XLRs will have the ties labeled with lengths. Stereo use cables I will tie in pairs (or even twist) and use some red tape to mark the R channels. For headphone gear I have the adapter bag, extensions bag, etc. Also have the "misc" bag for meets which contains one of everything. I may or may not have multiples of the "one of everything" bag. I have too many cables. Help.

    Anything I'm not using now, but plan to use in the near future, I shove under my bed. It's really a very safe place. A quick check shows 3 amps. Extra cables and chords are in a loose pile on a closet shelf. Anything I don't plan to use—which is a f**k ton of stuff because "ya never know"—goes in boxes in my office closet.

    Lost a whole bin full of cables in a flood. Moulded-on connectors are not proof against several days immersion in dirty water. Some of it was obsolete computer stuff anyway. But now if someone gives me a parallel-socket printer, or an external SCSI thingy, I won't be able to use it :(. lol.
