I have cabinets for cables (all tie-strapped), arranged in separate compartments:

- USB cables with at least one USB-C end

- All other USB cables

- Network cables

- Audio and video related (RCA, HDMI, SCART, phono, XLR, displayport, BNC, S/PDIF, etc)

- Power cables

- Power adapters

- Batteries and battery chargers

- Flash sticks, type adapters, diagnostic tools

- Spare keyboards and mice

Not a week goes by where I'm not grabbing something from that cabinet. A couple of months ago I actually needed a SCART cable for the first time in forever for some old hardware.
