Best Desk Cable Management - Universal Kit
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- UPDATE: When looking at the website it looks like the Small runs for $49 and the Large runs for $65. Looking at my receipt I paid $55 out the door 🤔
At $65 this is still such a great value. (and of course, you can still get the small for $49)

The Steelcase Universal Cable Management Kit has everything you need to organize the cables under your desk. It comes with 4 screws, elastic rubber pieces that tie your cables to the unit, and the unit itself that opens and closes.
You can choose between 2 sizes: Small & Large. The version I have is Large.
Also do a bonus scene where I talk about using Furniture Sliders as a Caster Wheel Replacement. Saves me on cost and adding more height to my desk for my non-aggressive desk move needs. :D

Holy crap! I’ve never watched your channel before, and from the beginning of the video I assumed you had over 100k because of the professionalism of this video! By far the most underrated channel!
Yooo. I appreciate this! 🙏🏽
@@romyromes no problem, keep up the good work!
I have watched a numbers of cable management on RUclips, but this is the best with the SMARTEST SOLUTION. Thanks
Thank you Kurt!!!
Guy seems like such a genuine, nice dude
I don’t know where to begin, that is to comment on the info you presented or to comment what a gracious, easy going, not in anyway talking down to us non techies. This video is probably the best video I have ever viewed on any subject here on RUclips. Keep up the great work!!!! Thank you.
Barry. Thank you for the kind words!!! Seriously.
I have been watching hours of videos on cable mgmt. And this I can tell is probably THE BEST style I have ever seen. Thank goodness I didn't give up on trying to find something better.
Appreciate it 🙏🏽🙌🏽
The streets need more videos!
lol You're getting me fired up Wilson! I really need to get back on this thing. I appreciate the push!
Great video of course,, but your presentation/demeanor is simply the friggin BEST. Thanks!
Barry!!!! Thank youuuuu.
10/10 bought based on this vid.
Thanks for dropping this comment! 🙏🏽🙌🏽
The 12 dislikes are from companies with flimsy plastic cable solutions
Hahahaha thanks for this ☺️🙏🏽
And isn't this one made of plastic?
I would have guessed that it was due to this product almost doubling in price….
Steelcase makes quality stuff.
Fantastic video and series. This is a hell of a lot cleaner than the other cable management videos out there, and you do a great job of showing how this thing actually works in reality.
THIS CRAZY GAME WILL BE IN EVERY HOUSE SOON, A FUN ACCESSORY FOR GAMERS
such a high quality vid omg and that outro. the energy is amazing
Appreciate you!
Just found this video and thank you for the review on the product as this company never came up on my search for a cable management option. I ordered mines today.
Thanks for all the great info I just ordered my uplift desk and and gonna get these sliders and cable management kit too.
Awesome!
Best looking solution I could find. Having to wait a bit, but I'm excited for it. Thanks for the review.
Did you receive the piece yet? How did it work out for you????
Nice video especially on the Steelcase cable management, loving it
You are like the only video on YT about this product, I would have never known about it had it not been for your video. Thanks bro. Also I had no freakin idea that sit/stand desks can raise up that high, wow! Thanks for the cool vid. 😁
Thanks for the comment! Yea I'm still so surprised that there aren't more videos on this unit - it's a great product but isn't really marketed I guess. I got lucky stumbling into it in my fairly long quest to figure out how to organize my cables. Yea - some of these desks go super high :D
I'm sold. Banger of a video. My only complaint is they won't ship for a few months 😭
haha thanks for the comment! That sucks! I feel like mine took longer than I wanted (weeks vs months). They should ramp up production of these things - they're great.
yeatle here lol
Goodness. The video quality and personality of this channel is amazing. Keep it up man! I definitely thought you had tons and tons of subs
Dude.....you're frickin' hilarious! Thanks for for the helpful recommendations. Keep up the great work!
😂😂😂 thank you!!!
How does this channel have 982 subs? RUclips algorithm, please do the lord's work.
hahaha thank you 🙏
This is EXACTLY what I was looking for! All cable management solutions suck as I have a lot of stuff to put in there. This Steelcase kit looks very promising! I'm going to purchase it and try to install it at my Jarvis Fully desk.
Great content! I am now considering this management setup for my desk.
Thank you!
Kind of amazed you only have a few hundred subs. Amazing production quality!
Thank you Spade! ☺️
Bro, this video is so clean you got a new sub 🔥🔥
Myyyy man. 🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
I have the 72"x30" Uplift desk. I did buy the smallest locking casters they had. it still goes plenty low, but I just bought some stuff on Amazon for wire mgmt and it looks good. This is pretty cool, too small for me. I bought a 39" 10 socket power strip that has plugs 3" apart so that all those ignorant bricks can plug in without taking over the slot next to or across from. i also still had to have another smaller power strip as well. I have a gaming PC, a Mac mini and lots of lights, routers etc all over the place. Mine looks pretty good. I hope to submit some pics to "set up" videos on youtube.
PS: the uplift desk is worth Every Penny they ask. The best desk ever.
I got the same desk coming in. What cable thing off amazon would you recommend? Thanks.
sheesh legend man thanks for posting this lol cable managements a pain in the ass glad i seen this made my life easier
sheeeeeesh. thanks man!
Loved your energy. Great review!
Thank you! 😊
I did that same trick with the carpet sliders. They def work!
my first time catching one of your videos. Not sure how you dont have 10k plus subs. Great video. Definitely subbed. I've got a large geek desk V3 sit/stand desk frame and I'm making a custom solid white oak top that's 60"×30". I've got j channels and some cable clips coming but I have been racking my brain how to make the cable mgmt work with my single row surge protector and such. This kit definitely looks like it will solve my issues. Much appreciated. Imma go binge some of your other videos now.
Thanks Genius! I need to get back into these videos. I've picked up a bunch of things since my last upload but the cable organization kit I'm using has not changed w00t! Also, solid white oak SWEEEEEET!!!!
Hope I can get it in Spain
Bought the cable organizers that Fully Jarvis offers with their desk, total flop
Thanks for this
Unfortunately, you can't, it's only available in the US and Canada Shop :/. I was hoping it would be available in Germany, but it is not available in the EU shop.
I just made a video about this box too. And I gave you a shoutout in the video!! Thanks for the amazing cable management idea!!
My man! Appreciate it. I’ll check yours out and give a like!
Nice solution. You should not daisy chain power strips though.
Fantastic video. Exactly what I needed.
You need to show how the steelcase attaches to the desk
that opening is freaking hysterical!!!! and true....thats how i feel with my sit/stand desk too!! HAAAAA HHHA
😂😂😂
Haha Great Video I love those CM Bar and I think Im gonna use it in my Setup too :) Amazing !! Keep up this great work ! Much Love - Chris
Hah Thanks Chris!
Nice review man looking to get my desk super clean nice idea.
Thanks Pugh!
Subscribed.
Sold; was looking for a flip down option, or considering making my own, with pegboard, piano hinge, etc.
That desk going up sounds like R2 screaming.
Thanks for this.
I love these cable management videos with a laptop, monitor and pair of speakers. I also have an uplift desk, but I have a desktop PC, a laptop, an xbox (with controller charger), two monitors, a KVM (with a USB and HDMI cable pair for each input), two powered studio monitors and a powered subwoofer (with a power cable and two balanced xlr cables *each*), a phone charger, an ipad charger, a headphone amp, and two power cables attached to outlets on top of the desk. All together these require two double width surge protectors. I have yet to find a cable management solution that can handle this number of peripherals that doesn't make adding or removing a component require disassembling the whole thing.
Hey Parker. Just spit balling here and trying to be helpful (forgive me if it frustrates you). Did you see this on the Uplift website? www.upliftdesk.com/modesty-panel-with-wire-management-by-uplift-desk/. I wonder if having a hybrid setup with "big things" falling into the modesty panel and smaller things being tucked into an under desk tray (doesn't have to be the one in my video...) could help.
@@romyromes Yeah, I got that with the desk. It just ends up becoming a big bag to hide the same tangled mess you'd have hanging off the bottom of your desk. I did go ahead and order two of the steelcase boxes from this video, so maybe they will do a better job. Thanks!
@@parkerault2607 Give and update (if you don't mind) as I am considering purchasing this kit. I have dual monitors, Nintendo Switch, speakers, Aorus 17G Laptop, and some assorted camera gear and I need some good management!
Romy!! What’s up broski! It’s Joe 🤙🏽 Found your video looking up cable management for my Uplift haha. Great video. Great energy and personality. Haven’t seen this option of tray. Just subscribed 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 We should collaborate on something 😜 Cheers!
Joe!!!! Maybe we do some kinda Ninja Turtle Vanilla Ice collab as a throwback. hahahaha. Small world. About to follow back.
@@romyromes LMAO!!!! Alright stop. “Collaborate” and listen… I see what you did there 🤔🤣😅 #toocoldtoocold 🙌🏽 You still in the Bay?? Send me your contact info on IG haha
nice, now that's a cable management not those other flimsy tiny and less cases
You sir, just earned a sub and a like. PINOY PRIDE!
Salamat my brotha! 🇵🇭
Wow great video
Thanks for the video Romy. This product looks like the perfect solution for me. Can you provide info on your desk? Looking to upgrade. Thanks.
Hi! It’s an Uplift Desk ☺️. I have some reviews on it on my channel if you want to see different angles etc
Cable management is always tricky and is hard to find standard solutions for people, because each person has a different work environment . Nevertheless, when imagination and design intervene, there are good alternatives, like AIS Furniture and its Wire Pet manager. You can get it in Manhattan Office Design, the place of grat American brands like HON Furniture and Humanscale Furniture
Great video Romy! Fyi, I have the same Uplift desk but smaller 72x30" and the grommet holes are too close together to use the large cable management kit.
That’s good to know! Fwiw if you really wanted to keep using it and you wanted it in the rear, I’d totally block one of the grommet holes. The grommet holes haven’t been as necessary as I thought they’d be for me
@@romyromes It was only about 1 inch too wide. So close! Good point, I may 👍 I'm only really using them to run a speaker cable.
@@bensilvis1372 lol wow. Super close. What a troll move by the desk 😂
Damn I can't find these anywhere that ship to Sweden. Why is it so hard to find any cable trays at all with hinges?? Would make my life so much easier.
Facts.
This was good. Thanks G
Wish we would have this in the Philippines 😭 shipping is heavy if you order from amazon to us here
Oh no! I wish you had it there too. :(
Thanks for the nice review. I wish we got a better look at the cable management. I have an Uplift aswell , but I can't tell if it is between the grommets as it is 30 inch in length.
I don’t see the links for the cable organizer. Is it still there? (Never mind…I found the links, duh !
Haha. Glad you found them.
Great video. Thinking of buying the Uplift desk but wasn't sold on their cable management. This seems to solve the problem. Don't know if you'll see this but can you explain how you mounted the brackets? I did buy the kit but you can't just screw in the front holes in the bracket. I don't know. Too hard for my brain.
Exactly what I'm searching for but can't find in Europe and they don't ship it international only US and CA so still on the search...
love your video man this is good, I am curious if you considered any of uplifts cable management solutions that go with their desks?
Thank you! I mean…I certainly considered but never pulled the trigger. The half-box thing it comes with is sufficient as a starter. Essentially you keep a “single row” surge protector inside of it and route cables into it. But once you start adding more devices to
your desk, you’ll outgrow it (assuming you want clean/no-show cable management). The one thing that caught my eye was the Uplift Desk accessory that hangs at the back of the desk serving as 1) under the waist privacy and 2) a big pouch to throw cables in. Never purchased it so can’t give any advice. Seemed like a “simple” solution though.
Thanks so much for making this video!
This was exactly what I was looking for!
Hoping you can answer a few questions:
Will this fit on any standard desk with enough clearance?
Also can it fit powerboards larger (thicker) than the ones you have? Will clamping it be an issue if I put a thicker powerboard?
I’m from Australia and I’ll have to order it to a US freight forwarder company to get it shipped here so it’s going to cost quite a lot so want to make sure everything’s alright
Hey Rush
It should fit on any standard desk with enough clearance
I don't know with regards to the "thicker" powerboards. I would check out the website and look at the dimensions, and then compare it to the powerboards you have. It definitely won't fit a 2 row powerboard (assuming you're trying to place it the way I have). It'll have to be single strips.
Great video! Definitely will be getting this. Also where can I get that wall shelve with accessories you have beside your desk?
Thanks for the view! You can get the accessories and board from IKEA. Search for “pegboard”
Nice review! Sayang hindi sya available outside USA and Canada.
Thank you! I knowwwww!!! Another commenter said the same. That’s too bad. :(
How does it attach to an uplift desk? Thanks for the video!
via wood screws that it comes with, and you're welcome! thanks for stopping by!
I'm assembling my Uplift desk, have my Steelcase cable management box on order. Thanks for the recommendation! Question: where did you plug in the power for the desk motor?
Great video! Do you think a big MacBook Pro charger would fit in this thing?
Awesome video!!
Thanks Ricardo!
This is exactly what I need. I have my uplift desk now and I run the new iMac. I need a place to put the power brick. Did you have to flip the desk to screw in the Steelcase cable management tray? Definitely looking into getting that one. Thanks.
Hey Jackson! You don't have to if you can prop it up (by hand or some other mechanism) and screw into the 4 holes (one on each corner). The screws they give you are presumably wood screws - no drilling needed. I flipped my desk over since I was clearing my desk anyways, but it definitely isn't needed.
@@romyromes Awesome 😎
Thanks Romy for your videos. I found every videos you made are super helpful. I recently just purchased uplift desk after I watched your video. I am also looking for cable management kits to organize my cable under my standing desk.
Question, for this cable management kits, do I need to drill my uplift desk? Or i can use original uplift cable management tray hole for this cable management kits (Large) from steelcase?
Thank you!!
Hi Gina! Thanks for the comment.
The cable management kit comes with screws. With my desk, I was able to use a screwdriver, and screw the screws into the desk without any drilling.
@@romyromes awesome! Thanks Romy!
@@ginayang4841 you're welcome!
THIS CRAZY GAME WILL BE IN EVERY HOUSE SOON, A FUN ACCESSORY FOR GAMERS
Looks good, but no EU version available :(
Nice Video but how do you mount it under the desk? Is it with screws or what?
Yea - it comes with screws. I was able to screw it into my desk without drilling holes. Maybe you'd need to drill holes with a solid wood desk, but I had no problem screwing them directly into mine.
Hey, Romy... This is the best cable mgmt kit I've seen so far. Now, I'm thinking of getting one for my Sway desk (60 x 30). A few questions: (1) What's actually included in the cable mgmt kit, just the tray and zip chords? (2) Who do you attach the tray to the table, is it screwed-in to the table OR attached somehow via the metal desk stand? Thanks!
Thanks Glenn. And wow. The Sway Desk is beautiful. That was my dream desk hah!
The Kit comes with 3 things:
1) the tray itself
2) the orange/red smart straps that hold cables in place (10 included in the large kit. 5 in the small)
3) the screws needed to mount the tray to the desk.
The screws they provide might be wood screws - I had no problem screwing them into my desk with a screwdriver (no drill work needed)
Thanks@@romyromes for the FYI. Will go ahead and get one then. You're the only RUclipsr to review this cable mgmt option, and I think it's the best one out there. Your review was truly helpful. :)
if your desk is solid wood you will need a drill, I have an uplift desk with a solid black walnut top and no way I would be able to just use a screwdriver on it. Just keep that in mind.
@@grimer1805 I'm jealous! Also thanks for sharing this callout. That's good to know.
@@romyromes hey bro thanks for this video this is excellent and the quality is top notch!
Hi, great review, are they made out of plastic?
Where did you buy the black surge protector?
I really want to buy this, too bad the average time to ship is 45 days...
Agreed, 45 business days is dumb...on to something else
Unfortunately i can't order the Steelcase Universal Cable Management Kit in France :/
Oh wow… just found this. I have an Ergonofis desk, but don’t like their cable management solution. This is such a elegant solution.
Is the grove in the middle wide and deep enough for a large monitor arm? If not, can I install the steelcage further to the front or do I have to install it at the edge of the table.
OMG. Another person with an Ergonofis desk...I'm jealous!
I've upgraded to a larger monitor arm and didn't have issues. Regardless! To your other point, there is no reason why the bracket needs to be placed as far back as mine is - it just made sense for my setup. Technically I could've put it closer to the front (too far forward, however, it'd get in the way of my knees).
@@romyromes I got lucky… walked by an estate sales and saw the desk and grab it. Otherwise, I couldn’t had afford it.
Good point on protecting the knee. How far forward from the edge of the table do you have to install the box in order to have enough room for a monitor arm?
BTW, you make great videos: very concise with effective supplement of visuals. High information density. Good lessons on brevity.
Yo Romy you said you were going to provide a link to you 80 inch desk however can’t find it. Can you send the link so I can check it out?
How does this attach to the desk? Does it come with screws?
Hey Romy, great review. Thanks for posting it. What size powerstrip fits in the cable management kit? Steelcase makes one, which includes two in kit powerstrips and one that you attach to the desktop, but it's $176 and is only available through local dealers.
It's 2023 now and that power strip plus is now a whopping $273 dollars lol What a joke, am I right?
This product looks absolutely sick I am confused though on how exactly you are attaching it to the desk I’m trying to figure out how to see if it will be compatible with my desk if you could let me know maybe I missed it but if you could let me know with a bit more clarity how you are attaching it it would be much appreciated thanks and great video bro can’t believe you only have 350 subs crazy your videos have such good quality
It’s screwed in
@@jspaceboy1117 thank you so much I was thinking about it but I’m not sure I want to screw it in
@@josephespinoza9636 no problem! I was debating that too but it looks really nice and hidden! Hard to find other better options but yeah I wish you could just have a large sticky pad for it or something instead
@@jspaceboy1117 do you think if I bought a giant adhesive pad would it work?
@@josephespinoza9636 I wondered that too but I didn’t try it. I would give it a shot though and if you don’t want to screw it then maybe return it
Is that the large version on your desk?
@@RatchetMiner yes it is!
EVERY NEW RUclipsR, ALWAYS MAKES ONE SIMPLE MISTAKE
Checking yourself out from time to time, which is hugely noticable by the audience which distracts them from paying more attention to the host
Now in July 2023 the small kit is $60 (US) and the Large is $80 (US).
Hi Romy! How can I buy if I live in Spain? On the steelcase website they only ship to the US and Canada...
I wish they sold this on amazon!! Waiting 10 days is wayyyyy too long!! But I have no choice.
I hear you. You’re actually lucky. 10 days is generally fast for this product! Many have reported waiting WEEKS!
@@romyromes it says minimum of 10 days. it might end up being weeks. lol....
@@eatermckinnon4644 yikes! Pretend I never said anything. Sending you good luck vibes. 😂😂😂
@@romyromes too late... They sent me email saying 3 weeks out. Wouldnt be surprised if it ends up being a month at this point.
@@eatermckinnon4644 😩😩😩
Subscribing bc your underrated
🙏🏽❤️
bro my power socket is not under my desk so how do i fix it now
I have an Uplift, did you screw this in or did the desk or into a bracket?
hi victoria! not following the tail end of your question, but going to take a shot in the dark.
the kit comes with 4 wood screws that you screw into your desk. there weren't any "pre-drill holes" in my uplift desk that showed me where to drill the kit - i had to make that decision for myself (which was pretty straightforward. just put it in the back, centered, and make sure it can open and close)
Nice!
Hi Romy, thanks for posting this video! I have been looking for something like this for my desk for months. I have a tresanti adjustable height desk from costco which is made from metal and has a glass top. Any recommendations on how to install/attach the cable management box?
Hey Kiran! I have the same desk and am looking for cable management devices /setup. Did you end up this cable management box? Any reccs Thanks
you have to screw in the box. I tried using double sided tape/velcro and it collapsed on me within 30 minutes. Total fail.
When you swing open the cable management panel, how deep is the bottom side where the bottom of your surge protector is resting on? Your surge protector looks like a single row design which is slim overall and can fit in there nicely. I have a surge protector with 2 rows of outlets and was wondering if the panel is deep enough to accommodate it?
I don't think it'll accommodate a double row.
Dimensions: 3 1/2"H x 30"W x 7 4/5"D
I believe that 3 1/2 is what you're most interested in.
@@romyromes thanks for checking. I might switch up my surge protector to a single row just so I can utilize this cable management system. It just looks so good in your video.
@@crumbsnatcher74 I’m definitely a happy buyer.
What do you recommend for a corner desk?
What is the little power strip you have on the right?
did you have to screw this into the desk or did it stick with glue ?
I screwed it into my desk with the screws it came with. It was very easy.
Do you know what the measurements are for the large kit
I just received mine. I tried to avoid using the screws and use the 3m picture hanging velcro thingys to hold it. Major mistake. lol. Now I need recommendation on cable management for non electric plug stuff. Let me know if you have a solution. I got usb cables all over the place.
So you tried to mount the kit with velcro? how did that go, what was the result? I want the kit but don't know the best way to mount it since I want to avoid drilling a hole in to my desk
@@Pyroshark you have to screw it in. I wanted to avoid it to. But it wasn’t as bad as I thought. It’s now holding strong.
@@eatermckinnon4644 I see. Is your desk thick? Another concern is screw length and resilience since I don't want the screws to penetrate the table 😓
@@Pyroshark screws they give you is not that long
@@eatermckinnon4644 Thank you!! I appreciate your time in answering :D
How did you attach your power strip or surge protector to the mounting slots? Do you need to have a surge protector with 2 cut outs at the bottom so you can slide it into the mounting slots to sit flush with the bottom of the cable management unit?
I used double sided tape to keep them secure!
Did you screw mount it 🤔 coz I could not find any info in regards to that on their website 🤷♂️
Yup! It comes with the screws.
What laptop stand is that?
Man.how to get one of these? I contacted steelcase they said they cannot ship it out until at least April 2022.. bro where did you get this? Is there another retailer in US?
Oof. I got mine from Steelcase and fwiw, it took a few weeks to get mine too
Dude, did you pre-drill holes for the screws that mount the whole thing to the desk? Mine just arrived today. Also, look on amazon, I found a 15 outlet surge protector bar that fits inside this. Thanks.
I don’t recall but I feel like the wood screws worked on my desk WITHOUT pre-drill because it’s not solid wood. On a solid wood surface you may need too
@@romyromes Thanks Romy, I have.a Fully-Jarvis desk with the bamboo top.... no joy trying to get the screws into that.... so now the fun part of trying to hold his in place to mark the places to drill.... then to not drill through the top of it....LOL. There's also not quite enough room behind the metal supports to install where you did on your desk. need to pull it way from the wall to make sure of that. Thanks again for doing this video on this tray.... everything else I was looking at just looked too clunky... including the one I could buy from Fully.... Wouldn't have found it without your video.
You’re welcome!
The silver lining is you have a bamboo top 🤩
I know it’s a pain, but I recommend flipping the table over and installing it that way if you’re doing it solo. That way you’re not killing your neck trying to juggle everything haha
Actually @zaphodsplanet I take that back. That bamboo top must be heavy to flip over and bring it back up. Either way is gonna be workout 😂
@@romyromes Yeah I've been thinking about flipping it, but it's still gonna just be all kinds of wonky. A second set of hands would be helpful right now for sure. The top is fairly heavy but not insane heavy like an old high end office desk that can feel like it weighs as much as a piano. I may hold off till morning to do this when I'm fresh... thanks again for your input man.
