TV Stands With Cable Management And Tips On Avoiding The Tangle

Even though technology advancement never ceases to surprise us, the wire tangle still remains a problem. The problem is very acute in the TV area, and TV stands  with cable management is the only reasonable solution so far. If you have little or no idea of what those are – no need to worry, there is really nothing extraordinary about these models, and they are widely available at any furniture store.

Stands with integrated cable management

Wall mounted – there are dozens of different wall mounted stands that are equipped with lower shelves. The whole construction is usually linked together with cable management columns or trunks. So far, this is the optimal model of TV stands with cable management.

Classic – classic stands also have basic cable management systems these days. Most often, there are special ports at the back wall of the stand that help you to carefully arrange all of the cables behind the TV.

Independent cable management systems

If you have already bought TV wall brackets and matching shelf / cabinet separately – it’s fine – you can buy independent cable management system practically in any furniture store.

Columns – are usually quite narrow and are not suitable for systems with a lot of wires.

Trunks – are enough for multiple consoles and complicated wire tangles.

Final tips on cable management

Do not buy more cable than you need – the most efficient way to avoid wire clutter is to buy just the right length of the cable. Even if you think that you might have to rearrange the wires or change TV stand position – no need to be stingy and buy extra just for the sake that maybe, one day, you may need more. TV cables are not the most expensive wires in the world, so put your present day comfort first.

Colour code – this is an optional tip, because not every homeowner will love a rainbow or wires. However, it often helps to see which cable goes where, so this might be a nice suggestion. Plus, the wires will still be behind the stand – so, what difference does it make if they are multi-coloured?

Make the most of your receivers – do not buy too many consoles and receivers; it is better to have one – but with increased functionality. This is not always possible, but in most circumstances – it is. So, you should better invest in one great console, thus saving your storage space and minimizing the tangle to a minimum.

Use separate power point – this is one of the seemingly obvious tips that is often completely ignored. Use one power point for all of your TV wires. Always.

The bottom line is – even though finding TV stands with cable management is incredibly important, you cannot expect that all the wires will magically disappear without any participation on your side. Sure, finding a reliable store  to shop at, a nice stand to hide all of your cables – those are good ways to start. Yet, getting rid of the tangle is something you, and you only, can take care of.
