With as many wireless photography products as there are on the market you’d think you wouldn’t have to deal with cables. But that doesn’t seem to be the case. In fact, it almost seems as though more cords have accumulated since every wireless gadget needs to be charged.

Earlier today though, I stumbled across a simple and quirky product that should help any and every photographer organize the tangled mess of cords that’s very likely hanging behind or beneath their desk.

It’s called the Pocketo Cable Organizer and as its name states, it’s a simple contraption that secures to your wall or your desk to help carefully organize and guide your cords in the right direction.

The key to its success is the 8×8 grid of flexible knobs that hold cables in place. By securing cables between the knobs, you can arrange them however you please, whether it’s by color, direction or the device it’s being plugged in to.

If you’re a little more ambitious, you can combine one of these organizers with a DIY charging station for an incredibly effective means of getting your gear charged.

Regardless of how you use the organizer, you can pick up two for $12 on the Pocketo store. It appears the products have sold out between the time of writing this and the time of publishing it, but it shouldn’t be much longer before they’re back in stock.
