It's possible to find yourself surrounded by at least half a dozen cords when working or at home of office: One for the phone; the tablet; the tablet keyboard; the laptop; earphone charger; and speaker cord. And don't forget the power cords.
Two people in the same space? Double number of cables.
Of course, you want some cables fairly long to allow use of the device while charging. But pretty soon, the cables turn into a trip hazard. An in addition to the annoying mess, the devices are also at risk from yanks that can pull them off surfaces or destroy ports.
Don't allow cords to hang over your workspace onto the floor. Even a foot or two of cord dangling onto the floor can trip you. You might also roll over the cord with your desk chair and damage it.
In offices, workers often staple cables to surfaces. It may be fast, but this is double trouble since it creates an immediate electrical hazard and an ongoing threat to the cords themselves.
Many products are available to channel, hide, and organize cables.
