Cable Tidy

[Geoff]

We have several laptops that plug into whiteboards. As you can imagine there is a rats nest of cables under/near the desk they live on. Does anyone know where to get some simple flexible tube style cable tidys?

I think PoundStretcher sell them but it would be a pain to buy them for school.

 

I use copious amounts of cable ties. Check out http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/pro.jsp?cId=101864&ts=97371&id=52079 for a cable tie gun (much less wastage than using millions of individual ties.

Ikea used to do some nice ones [i got some a year ago] - y'know - spilt flexible plastic pipe about 2m long.

 

only about 15mm diameter tho' - is that big enough?

Only thing I can find on IKEA is this.
