Cable Management Estimator

Tell Derek your desk size and what's on it. He'll give you the exact list of cables, clips, and trays you need — with lengths, quantities, and where to buy them.

"I have three cable management trays. One is installed. One is still in the box. One I bought for the wrong desk. The point is I know exactly what you need." — Derek

Your Setup Details

Measure the full width in inches. The cable run length depends on this.
Standing desks need extra slack in cables for height travel.
This determines your cable spine routing direction.
Count everything that has a cable. Every. Single. One.
