FW: [motm] Cable holders

2003-04-15 by Tkacs, Ken

I've got a horribly informal system, but it's what I end up using.

I bought a bunch of those 'sheet metal comb' cable holders, like the ones
Mouser carries, but I end up not using them too much in my perpetual rush.

Instead, I have a lot of 'tube' furniture -- my keyboard rack for instance
is made of tubular metal. (Totally tubular, man.)

I have a lot of these lighting clamps made by Bogen from my old video days,
and I clamp them all over the tubular furniture legs. The clamps have a
lever-like tightening handle that ends up sticking straight upward.

I can drape about 200 pounds of cables off of each one of these handles. The
clamps do not slip. I have them all over the studio, separated mostly by
ends (1/4"-1/4", 1/4"-BNC, 1/4"-RCA, and so on). Now I need to throw a few
more up and sort by my stooge cable colors.

By the way, everyone else has said it, so now it's my turn: these cables are
wonderful, gorgeous! Thank you Larry, and thank you Paul for the logo. It
may seem like a small detail, but I really love the logo on the heatshrink.
Now I will accept no other cables in my modular!
