There’s nothing more annoying than tripping over bunches of wires in your own home, as if falling afoul of some masochistic booby trap. Sooner or later, it’ll result in a serious injury. Between the trip hazards and the electric shock risk, having loose cabling all over the house is not safe, especially if you have a young children at home.
There are a number of precautions you can take when setting up your cabling. The first – and perhaps most obvious – step to take is to buy wire tidies and label them. You can keep track of each appliance this way, without having to run your hands along lengths of knotted cabling.
Another precaution is to try to avoid having to run wires across the room if possible. If you have to, bury them under the carpet or attach them to the wall. You can get all the necessary bits of kit for attaching wires to the wall (as well as browsing cables) at rs-online.co.uk.
