Introduction to Cable Management

Cable management is essential for an aesthetically pleasing and safe television setup. It involves organizing and concealing cables to prevent accidents and maintain a clean look.

Cable sleeves encase multiple wires in a single, neat tube, which can then be run along walls or furniture. Rigid tubes offer extra protection, while flexible sleeves allow for easier handling around corners.

For a seamless look, in-wall cable management systems hide wires completely. This method often requires professional installation and is ideal for rooms where cables cannot be concealed by furniture.

Adhesive clips are an easy, tool-free option for managing cables. They secure wires against surfaces and can be strategically placed to guide cables discreetly around the perimeter of the wall.

Raceways are paintable conduits that adhere to the wall surface, blending with the décor. They provide an accessible yet discreet channel for cables, perfect for renters or temporary setups.

Behind-the-wall kits offer a middle ground between simple clips and full in-wall installation. These kits typically use a narrow tube that houses cables, connecting two small openings in the wall.

Modern entertainment centers and TV stands often come with integrated cable management solutions, such as built-in channels and openings that help conceal and organize cables behind the setup.
