Cable Management

[NW1]

Ok……….so - I’ve taken over this theatre and wondering what cable management ideas you all have?! I have some ideas but wondering f if anyone has any “different” ideas that I’ve not thought of?!? 

[Dave m]

We have no idea of your thoughts, so how would we know?

On stage?

Tripe? Audio? 
detail?

[alistermorton]

Do you mean in terms of storage or in terms of routing and securing cabling during shows?

[david.elsbury]

Hire a cable manager? 😉

I was asking about storage

[themadhippy]

for smaller stuff.scaff arms for the bigger heavier stuff.

Storage boxes under the front of the stage.

Thats how we used to store cables when I was at TLT

If using hooks, make sure the diameter is sufficient to not deform the outer of larger cables. In the past i've chopped up 40mm waste pipe and threaded it over thinner hooks/poles to prevent the cable from being damaged. A wall of unistrut verticals with cantilever arms would give you a nice and adjustable option, but not cheap. 

Personally I use plastic interlocking lid boxes for all of my cable storage.
