A removable wall hides desk cables

Summary

Barbex builds a free-standing Z-shaped panel from veneered chipboard that protects cables and remains removable without modifying the desk. The build took about five minutes. Veneered chipboard cut to size was used.

Ideas

  • A Z shape holds the panel without fixing it to the desk.
  • The open gap makes moving and maintenance easier.
  • Screws stay hidden on the visible side.

Insights

  • Simple cable management improves safety and maintainability at the same time.
  • Removable covers are better than fixed solutions when things change.

Recommendations

  • Leave air and strain relief around power supplies.
  • Separate power and signal cables as far as practical.
