Controller cabinet organization

[Travis Stewart]

I’ve seen a lot of nice cabinets and some have bars that hide cords or organize them. Just wondering what those are called. What do you do with all your extra cord besides zip tie it?

You could zip tie the excess and stuff the wad into the raceway. I would think a 2"wide x 1"deep raceway is sufficient to hold a wire bundle. There are reusable zip ties available if you think you might need to have wire access.

In my experience with the 2x1 - it wasn't big enough. But of course it depends on how much stuff you're putting in there. Some cords are quite thick and overly long. I wish I'd gotten the larger size.

Is it plastic duct? How do you cut to length size? Why size do you wish ya would have got?

I got the 2x1 here:

Wish I'd done 2x2 for more cable stack height inside. They are plastic and easy to cut with a hacksaw or sharp utility knife.

I appreciate the help. As far as mounting them, just take cap off and drill hole and screw in?

This, https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=21857, is 1-3/4"x2-1/2" and is relatively cheap for a 6 foot piece. I usually get all my TV/PC/Stereo stuff from them.

How are the modules/powerbar attached to your box? What is the ADJ strip on the bottom with the 9 switches?
