[346] Untangle computer cables

Author: G.C., Hombrechtikon, Switzerland

Finally no more cable clutter!
I have an external screen and a mouse that I can connect with my laptop. But I often have my laptop in my bag, which leaves cable clutter on my desk (4 different cables).
In order to change that I placed W-05-N cube magnets along the stem of my metal desk lamp. Now, I can attach almost every cable to a cube magnet (see picture below).
Only the Internet cable is not magnetic, so I cut off the tip of a paper clip and attached it to the Internet cable with some adhesive tape (see picture below). Now, also the Internet cable adheres to a magnet.
The metal of the paperclip hides under the black adhesive tape.
Note from the supermagnete team: A similar application is the project Cleaning up your computer work space.
