Soba cable director

1 Truly wireless computing continues to elude us, so versatile cable management systems fall straight into our good books. Happily the Soba kit is one such example; its 10-foot fabric tube holds the cables, and can be cut to size. The Y-split cap (for diverging cables), adhesive mounting caps and zipper tool to feed cables through combine to make average desktops (not multiperipheral rigs) a good deal tidier. The assembly sheet isn’t much use; fortunately a video guide on BlueLounge’s website makes the process clearer. Tim Hardwick

A rather neat solution to cable-creep on home or office computer desks (once you wrap your brain round it).
