Tidying up cables

[Geoff_S]

I need to get this mess tidied up, Sitting on the hallway table I have:

1. BT Router
2. Apple Air Backup box
3. Hive network box
4. 3 Mobile box
5. SSE Smart Meter
6. Table lamp
7. Landline telephone
8. Remote control for door curtain

So that's an 8 gang extension plus one more for the mains enabled network cable that I need for the TV.

Has anyone got or seen any ideas for tidying this rather unsightly mess. I was thinking of building a decent cupboard but I am concerned that I might be blocking the various router signals going on.

Ta.

pics of proposed site and gubbins (technical term) sizes might help

They don't all have to be in the same place.

But maybe get a tower plug extension

That’s not 100% correct. The xDSL cable from the router to the filter/faceplate is not twisted pair and is susceptible to interference, especially from switched mode power supplies. So try and route this separately from other cables. The WiFi can be blocked / reflected by anything metal so again try and keep the hub clear so it can operate as designed.
