Tricks For Hiding Those Messy Power Cables, Like Your Television's Sanyo Fw32d06f

By William Thompson


If you're like most people the number of electronic devices you own has increased rather than diminished over the years. Along with those devices comes a tangle of various power cables, like your main power supply television cable, the Sanyo fw32d06f. If you have looked at that tangled mess long enough, and are determined to do something about it, decorators have some creative tips to camouflage those lines.

Zip ties have a wide variety of uses. You will make a lot of cords that are hanging down together a lot less conspicuous by tying them together. If you have a lot of creative ability, and a certain style, you might decorate the cord stream with color in the form of clips, butterflies and bows. You can pick up the multiple prong outlet you need to plug them in at your local hardware, home improvement or big box store.

A great idea that comes from the minds of professional organizers is labeling. If you only have a couple of cables hanging together, you know which one is which. When you have a number of them running together, deciding what goes to what becomes problematic. You can solve this problem by labeling the individual cords and cables. This will prevent you from unplugging the television when you meant to unplug the lamp.

One of the fastest and easiest ways you can hide your cables is with a basket placed under the television mounted on your wall or under your console. If you've got your television sitting on a stand, the basket can be placed underneath it. There are a number of wicker style baskets available that are very attractive. Just make a bundle of the cords, tie them together, and loop them over a hook to give a neat appearance as they disappear into the basket.

If you have an easy chair sitting by a wall mounted television or next to a tv sitting on a table, you can hide the cables behind it. You attach them with cord clips fixed to the back of the chair. There are various ways you might affix the clips to the chair.

How successful you are depends mostly on the fabric the chair is covered in. Wood chairs with lots of raised ornamentation may not work. You should probably try one cord at a time to see how much the clip will hold effectively.

You might hide your cords and cables in a storage box. This is a great trick with several uses. All you need is a nice storage box with an attractive front. You can find them reasonably priced at home improvement and big box stores.

You'll have to drill a hole in the back of your box before setting it under the television. Then you can run the cords through the hole you drilled. A surge protector can be placed in the bottom of your box with the cord run through the hole and plugged into the wall outlet.
