Untidy cables

[Fieldsy]

Hi all please tell me I’m not the only one who gets freaked out with the messy cables 😫. Any ideas on tidying them up ,Eq5 pro goto din cables are super stiff and short 2 camera cables ( not cooled(yet)) dew heater running to ASIair and then to tri-pod power            EQ mod . 9 cables 3 cam/cam/dew strap  which need to pass the axis of the mount if asi box mount on stand or  3 eq mod/dew strap/ power if asi box on the scope + the 2 din cables . Any pics with ideas most appreciated.

Spiral wrap seems to be very popular for keeping them all together and out of the way, but even then I guess you'll have to separate them somewhere.

This stuff is nice to work with - it's like spiral wrap, but split like a zipper. Comes with a tool to zip cables in easily. Much easier to add and remove from the bundle and unwinding spiral wrap. You can break cables out wherever you need along its length

I use Velcro straps. Picture attached. You can see some around the handle beneath the guide scope that tidy up the dew straps and behind the main camera. The camera to computer leads are strapped together in a ‘loom’. Makes it easier to adjust which wires go where compared to a spiral wrap and makes tidying up at the end of a session easier dealing with ‘one’ wire.

Not seen that stuff before, but it looks very handy.

I use expandable nylon braid.  And I have a lot of cables - this is a detail of the scope end, and the cables running from the scope:
