Cable Internet - How To Clean and Organize The Cables Around Your Computer - Technology - Electronics

Just like cable TV, almost every household has an internet connection and even more companies and offices use cable internet. Internet has become part of our day-to-day life and has almost become a necessity. It might be a familiar scene, a bundle of cables and connectors cluttering your workspace or your desk at home. The result, your desk looks unorganized and messy, which does not benefit your company's professional appearance or makes your home look like a disaster.

Another factor to keep in mind besides the look of your desk is fire hazard. All these cables might be a big fire hazard when they are not connected in a professional manner. Not even to mention the danger of tripping on a cable and being injured.

A simple solution to get rid of cables and wires is going wireless. Instead of your internet cable connected to your computer, consider plugging it into a wireless router. The router can be placed anywhere out of sight and internet is available throughout your house or office, available to any computer, phone or appliance with a wireless connection. Prior to buying a wireless router, you should check if your internet provider allows the use of a wireless router since there are some that do not allow it.

Using a wireless router is one way to get rid of your internet wire looks cluttered. How about the others? The keyboard, mouse and printer are usually connected to the CPU with wires too. These can be removed if you go completely wireless.

Have you ever thought of using a wireless keyboard, mouse or even a wireless headphone? These days there are many wireless solutions available. Replacing all connected appliances with a wireless option will require you to invest as they are quite expensive compared to those with wires. When considering this, you should bear in mind how much you are willing to spend. With a smaller budget, it might be clever to replace some components by grade-A wireless appliances rather than to use a cheap solution. It is best to use high quality equipment to keep efficiency standards high.

Are you not willing to go wireless or do not have the budget to do so? You might consider using a free solution. Roll up the cables to the length you need and stick them to the desk or table by using common adhesive tape. This way the cables are secured, fixated and are not a hazard anymore. Downside is, moving around will mean detaching the cables and fixing them up elsewhere.
