How do you keep your wiring neat and tidy and manageable?

Not the easiest of jobs, depending on how you do your wiring, cable ties are one way, or you can buy cable clips that stick or screw under your board.How do you keep your wiring neat and tidy and manageable?

I use cable clips on my layout, still a rats nest though!Not the easiest of jobs, depending on how you do your wiring, cable ties are one way, or you can buy cable clips that stick or screw under your board.
Mine's the same, the only way that I can see is to have an aux power line down the Centerline of the board and use choc blocks to connect your ancillary equipment.I use cable clips on my layout, still a rats nest though!View attachment 168301
I used to twist wires together but had a very unfortunate incident at an exhibition where quite a large section of wiring was ripped out by the cables being caught on something, so now I keep the wires separate so the damage would be much less if it was snagged. I will be replacing the screw terminals with clip fit connections before this goes on the exhibition circuit in November.Mine's the same, the only way that I can see is to have an aux power line down the Centerline of the board and use choc blocks to connect your ancillary equipment.
What I would suggest is that where you have two cables twist them together so they look like a single cable, I've started doing that now by connecting one end and then using a cordless drill to twist the wires together.
Well, usually a new panel is nice with bundled wire and all, but then one needs to make a change. Wap! so much for any organization.wireing organization ?? on a model rr Never

I think the clip's are easier, especially if you need to either replace or want to add new cabling as they obviously just slip in from the top rather than trying to thread the cable through the clips you already have in place.I've never seen those before, Smudge. I like them, though! I use something similar, I just thread the wire through while I'm installing it.
