Standing Desk Cable Management: Clean Setup That Moves Without Snagging

If cables snag when raising/lowering your desk, fix cable movement path first, then tidy aesthetics second.

Fast reliable setup

1. Install one under-desk cable tray.
2. Use one vertical cable spine to the floor outlet.
3. Leave a controlled slack loop for monitor movement.

Common mistakes

• Over-tight zip ties that remove movement slack.
• Multiple hanging power bricks under motion points.
• No strain relief near monitor-arm joints.

Recommended routes

• Compact monitor arms
• Single gas-spring monitor arms
