The cable management system I designed for my desk consists of two parts, the outlets and these basket-like shelves (actually a dismantled shoe rack) that run parallel to the power lines. That way, not only can I cable tie all of the necessary cabling to the baskets, but I can also lay power adaptors (like for my mac mini) into the baskets to keep them off the floor and well ventilated.
Discarded steel arresting cable from the former NAS Moffett Field. At one time this was installed to stop tactical aircraft which could not stop on their own before running off the end of the runway.
An aircraft's tail hook would catch this cable in a manner similar to the arresting cables aboard aircraft carriers, but with a much longer deceleration distance.
Rubber spacers, some of which are visible in this picture, held the cable a few inches above the runway, allowing an aircraft's arresting hook to engage.
I found this discarded cable at the edge of the wetlands just north of the former NAS Moffett Field.

As we clear the station, this is the view as the cables rise so to go over the River Thames.
Emirates Air Line (also known as the Thames Cable Car) is a Transport for London (TfL) gondola lift cable car link across the River Thames in London built with sponsorship from the air carrier Emirates. The service opened on the 28 June 2012.[1][2][3][4][5]
The scheme, announced in July 2010 and estimated to cost £60 million, comprises a 1-kilometre (0.62 mi) cable car line that crosses the river from the Greenwich Peninsula to the Royal Docks. Construction began in August 2011.[6] The cable car is based on Monocable Detachable Gondola (MDG) technology, a system which uses a single cable for both propulsion and support, such as that used on the Caracas Aerial Tramway. The MDG system is reportedly cheaper and quicker to install than a more complex three-cable system which would allow for larger-capacity cars.
On 4 July 2010, TfL announced plans to develop a cable car crossing over the River Thames. It is the first urban cable car in the United Kingdom. Designed by Wilkinson Eyre Architects, it crosses the river at a height up to 90 metres (300 ft), higher than that of the Millennium Dome. The cable car provides a crossing every 15 seconds carrying up to 2,500 passengers per hour in each direction, equivalent to the capacity of 50 buses.[8] The cable car can also convey bicycles and passengers are able to use Oyster Cards to pay for their journeys.[9]
A planning application was submitted to the London Borough of Newham in October 2010 for the "erection of a cable car for the length of 1,100 metres [3,600 ft] over the River Thames from North Woolwich Peninsula to Royal Victoria Dock at a minimum clearance of 54.1 metres [177 ft] above mean high water springs".[10] The application listed the structures planned for the service on the north side of the Thames as an 87-metre (285 ft) north main tower at Clyde Wharf, a 66-metre (217 ft) north intermediate tower south of the Docklands Light Railway tracks roughly mid-way between Canning Town and West Silvertown stations, a two-storey gondola station and "boat impact protection" in Royal Victoria Dock.[10] South of the river there is a 60-metre (200 ft) main support tower and a boarding station within the O2 Arena car park.
When the project was announced, TfL initially budgeted that it would cost £25 million and announced this would be entirely funded by private finance.[9] This figure was revised to £45 million, and by September 2011 the budget had more than doubled to £60 million, reportedly because TfL had not taken account of the costs of legal advice, project management, land acquisition and other costs.[citation needed] TfL planned to make up the shortfall by paying for the project out of the London Rail budget, applying for funding from the European Regional Development Fund and seeking commercial sponsorship.[11]
In January 2011, News International were planning to sponsor the project but subsequently withdrew its offer.[12] In October 2011, it was announced that the Dubai-based airline Emirates would provide £36 million in a 10-year sponsorship deal which included branding of the cable car service with the airline's name.[1]
Construction began in August 2011 with Mace as the lead contractor.[13] Mace built the cable car for £45 million and will operate it for the first three years for a further £5.5 million. TfL stated that the initial construction funding and Emirates sponsorship will cover £36 million of the cost; the rest will be funded from fares.[1] The cable car will be the most expensive cable system ever built.[7]
In May 2012, TfL said that the cable car would be ready for people to use by summer 2012, and that while there were originally no plans to have it open before the 2012 Olympics, there would be plans in place in case it was opened in time.[14] The public opening took place at 12:00 BST on 28 June 2012.[5][15] TfL reports that the total cost of the project was about £60 million of which £45 million went towards construction. TfL estimates that the service can carry 2,500 people per hour.

Inspired by a post on Lifehacker, I decided to tackle the ugly, nasty, dirty mess of cables under my desk.
After all day of cleaning, organizing wires, mounting the rack...the finished result.
Hundreds of colorful, individually insulated copper wire strands comprise the internal structure of this cable.
DIY Cable management using a coat rack and some hardware. (8-32 6" threaded rods with cap nuts for both ends. I bought washers but I grabbed the wrong size). Drilled through the desk and ran the rod through. The IKEA version is cheaper, but sometimes you have to make do.
Factory built in around 1912 for local man Harold W. Smith, specialising in cables and cabling for the mining industry. One of only four works in the country that could produce braided electrical cables at the outbreak of the First World War, as a result was awarded contracts from the Ministry of War producing parts for the 'D mk III' field telephone.
The workforce grew from 40 [1912] to 650 as well as works operating on a double shift pattern for the duration of the war. By 1918, 15,000 miles of electrical cable had been produced.
Post war slump resulted in the 'H. W. Smith & Co' works going into administration. Works bought by 'Edison Swan Electric Co' [later 'Associated Electrical Company' and Siemens] to produce power lines cabling.
During the Second World War, the works had [again!] one of the four machines in the country able to produce lead tubes. These tubes were used in the construction of 'PLUTO' 'Pipe-Line Underwater Transportation of Oil' / 'Pipe-Lines Under the Ocean' which were fuel lines between the Isle of Wight and France to support the invasion of Normandy, 'Operation Overlord'.
The cable works closed in 1966 and was bought by a paper & cardboard company 'Reed Paper Group' who manufactured packaging.
The factory closed in the mid-1990s.

Becky Cable House in Cades Cove, Tennessee. November 2011.
From cadescovepreservationtn.homestead.com/beckycable.html:
Rebecca Ann Cable was the second child born of John P. and Elizabeth Cable in Carter County. Along with her parents and siblings, she relocated to Cades Cove in 1868 where she became revered as simply “Aunt Becky”. Aunt Becky once confided that her father moved to distance her from the “man she loved” and that, as circumstances evolved, she “didn’t have time for marriage or her own family”, remaining single her entire life. However, she was certainly never without family and always responded to the needs of her family which extended well beyond genetic relationships. Aunt Becky left a positive, lasting impression on those privileged to share her bloodlines and on others who benefited from her association.
Aunt Becky was a lady of many talents, much industry and considerable resiliency. She and a brother, Dan, bought a two story house of frame construction, including a store on the lower floor, from Leason Gregg. The house, built of lumber sawed at the Cable Mill, is considered as the first frame house built in the Cove and was located at the first ford of Mill Creek on Forge Creek Road. After Dan’s health deteriorated, Aunt Becky became accountable for the care of his family, care provided with uncompromising love. She was an accomplished miller and could independently operate the Cable Mill. An accident at the mill cost Aunt Becky a segment of her calf, visible throughout her life. Devoted to the betterment of the Cove, she donated the land and provided other considerations resulting in the Cable School being located near the Cable Cemetery to educate the children in that area.
Aunt Becky accepted all challenges, performing tasks usually reserved for men. She was frequently seen “barefoot” as she plowed the fields with mules or herded cattle to the balds and “Becky’s Sugar Cove” located a distance up Mill Creek from her home place. A neighbor and friend, John McCaulley, recalled how a barefoot Aunt Becky stepped on a sleeping rattlesnake while walking to the sugar cove to check on her stock. Her reaction, “ well, you didn’t hurt me old fellow, don’t guess I’ll hurt you!” Aunt Becky was an accomplished cook who rarely refused to seat the hungry. Many former guests recall meals at her table and the fan made from torn newspapers used for fly control. Her experiences and skills included plowing the fields, planting the seed, gathering and grinding the corn, then preparing food items from her efforts. She was also familiar with and proficient in the use of flax and wool to make essential clothing items for her immediate and extended families and in the use of nature’s remedies to address illnesses and injuries.
Once, some years before her death, she became gravely ill and summoned John McCaulley to build her coffin. Payment was in the form of wool socks which she had made. Because of a solid foundation in the Missionary Baptist Church, Aunt Becky was prepared for her Cove departure. She recalled how she gazed to the opposite bank of Mill Creek and experienced a vision of Christ extending uplifted arms to her but, before contact was completed, the vision ended. Since Aunt Becky recovered and lived a productive life for several years thereafter, her conclusion was that “Jesus just wasn’t ready for her yet”. Life was hard for Aunt Becky but love for her family and the Cove came easy for her. Aunt Becky remained after establishment of the GSMNP and only left upon death in 1940. She is buried in the Cable Cemetery, adjacent to the field she formerly plowed and near the site of the Cable School which she enabled. How very appropriate that as her soul soared to her final Cove of happiness and fulfillment, her body was assimilated into Cades Cove, a place synonymous with the name Aunt Becky Cable.
Category 6 Cable can provide up to 250Mhz performance and suitable for 1000BASE-TX (Gigabit Ethernet) and 10GBASE-T, more protected from system noise and crosstalk, said. But who knows, only thing i know that is quite hard to patch cause of that plastic protection.
The Original Hdmi cable is a Version 1.4A which allows the cable to transfer data at a speed of up to 10.2 GB/s, pushing standards to the limits. Employs all current standards such as deep colour and xvYCC
