What the thread found

• Office supply pencil pouches can be used to organize and protect cables, with color coding by function such as power, accessories, or video.
• Binder-based cable storage works only with a limited number of pouches before closure becomes impossible due to connector bulk, typically 4-5 pouches maximum.
• A dedicated daily setup pouch kept with equipment streamlines repetitive setup and teardown routines.
• Makeup department bags and fishing tackle bags are suitable alternatives for cable organization.
• Specialized cable storage solutions exist as purpose-built alternatives to improvised office supplies.

Depends on

• Binder-based organization fails with bulky connectors and more than 4-5 pouches.
• The approach works better with cable types that have compact connector ends rather than large connectors.
• Flexible binders were mentioned as a potential solution but not tested in the discussion.
• Large cable collections may outgrow the capacity of binder-based systems.
• Discussion predates modern cable management options and product availability may have changed.
