Let’s talk about the unsung villains of your workspace—the untidy cables. They’re there, lurking beneath your desk like sneaky noodles, crawling across the floor, looping over monitor arms, or bunched up in corners like they’re attending a meeting of their own. So how do you hide untidy cables while keeping everything connected, efficient, and looking like you have your life together?
The good news is that hiding untidy cables doesn’t require magic, duct tape, or a furniture overhaul. What it takes is intentional design, modular solutions, and a little help from Nexen Power Track—a brand built on the belief that power access should be flexible, stylish, and stress-free.
We’ve all seen those immaculate workspaces on Instagram or in architectural magazines—the ones where no cable dares show its face. But beneath the aesthetic appeal lies a more practical motivation. Hiding cables properly prevents dust build-up, minimizes tripping hazards, improves airflow to your devices, and reduces wear and tear on both plugs and ports.
A recent case study by Singapore’s Infocomm Media Development Authority (IMDA) highlighted how digital-first businesses improved productivity and employee satisfaction simply by improving their office ergonomics and wire management setups. In one of their pilot programs, over 60% of surveyed businesses reported fewer maintenance issues when power cables were professionally organized and hidden (IMDA).
When you know how to hide untidy cables, you’re not just decluttering. You’re protecting your gear, improving safety, and creating a visual environment that promotes mental clarity and focus.
Now, let’s get to the heart of it. How do you hide untidy cables when you have three screens, a desktop tower, a phone charger, a webcam, speakers, and a stack of other peripherals? You call in Nexen Power Track—not literally, but their solution speaks volumes.
Nexen Power Track systems are designed with two things in mind: flexibility and aesthetics. Rather than forcing you to work around fixed wall sockets or snake cords across the room to a lonely extension bar, Nexen lets you bring power directly to your devices—exactly where and how you need it. Mounted along your wall, under your desk, or flush against your table’s surface, the track system acts like a power highway with exits wherever you decide to plug in.
No more long cords stretched from one corner of the room to another. No more dangling plugs hanging like vines under your desk. Instead, you have sleek, flush-mounted access to electricity and data, with cable routes so direct they don’t even need to be hidden—they’re already practically invisible.
Let’s look at a real-life example of how knowing how to hide untidy cables pays off. A marketing and branding agency in Singapore upgraded their office space in early 2024. The team had previously worked with old-school power strips taped to the underside of desks, leaving cords hanging like holiday garlands between stations.
After installing Nexen Power Track along the rear edge of each workstation and behind key monitor setups, they managed to remove over 70% of exposed wiring. The result? Reduced cable breakage, zero tripping incidents, and an office layout that finally matched their modern brand.
Employees described it as a visual detox. And clients walking into the office? Impressed by the clean setup before they even saw the first campaign brief.
Start with location. Nexen allows you to place your power source right behind your monitor or under your desk—no crawling under tables or relying on the default power outlet six feet away. This shortens cable length drastically, which not only looks better but protects cables from unnecessary bending or tugging.
Next, think modular. With Nexen’s custom socket inserts—whether you need USBs, HDMI, Ethernet, or power—you can reduce adapter clutter too. Each cable has a short, direct route to the power track, meaning there’s less slack to manage or hide. As we explored in our monitor cable organization article, it’s about designing the cable journey before plugging anything in.
For long-term tidiness, add optional under-desk trays and clips to keep everything pinned neatly in place. But here’s the kicker—with Nexen’s precise power positioning, you may not even need much extra organizing. When a system fits your workflow, mess has nowhere to grow.
Untidy cables are noticeable because they don’t belong to anything—they’re rogue, uncontained, uninvited. Nexen’s power tracks, on the other hand, are designed to complement your interior, not disrupt it.
With ultra-slim profiles, minimalist finishes, and customization options in surface materials like wood or marble-laminate, these tracks look like they’re part of the desk itself. And because the sockets slide and lock into place wherever you choose, it’s not just beautiful—it’s functional down to the millimeter.
We discussed this balance in our guide on how to keep cables neat and tidy, but it bears repeating: visual order equals mental order. When everything is tucked, organized, and intentionally placed, your brain notices. You focus better. You feel calmer. You work smarter.
Untidy cables aren’t always your fault. The moment you change your monitor, add a microphone, or shift your standing desk height, your tidy setup can unravel. But Nexen’s modular tracks adapt to change without making you start from scratch.
Adding new gear? Add new modules. Shifting your desk layout? Just slide your sockets to the new location. There’s no need to tear down walls, add extension cords, or fight with cable ties. Nexen grows with you, meaning untidy cables stay gone—no matter how your setup evolves.
And if you’re wondering about safety, every Nexen track comes Safety Mark certified and rigorously tested to meet high standards. So while your workspace looks like a minimalist masterpiece, the system beneath it is built like a tank.
Let’s be honest—many of us have spent more time hiding cables behind planters and rugs than we’d like to admit. But with Nexen Power Track, that era is over. It’s not about hiding anymore. It’s about integrating. It’s about creating a workspace that is smart, intentional, safe, and every bit as good-looking as it is efficient.
So how do you hide untidy cables for good? You stop hiding them—and start replacing them with Nexen Power Track solutions that make messy wires obsolete.
