Like most of you I have a few stackable containers full of miscellaneous RCA/power/parallel/serial cables.
It's a perpetual nightmare trying to find the cable I want and then having to untangle it from the rat's nest of tangles and hanging connectors.
I started using some medium mesh bags with drawstrings from Amazon to separate cables by type/purpose. it takes no more space inside the container than the cables themselves, and keeps the tangling down to a minimum. It also makes sorting through your cables much easier, since you can pick up a bag and instantly see "This serial cables, this is RCA cables, these are VGA cables". The bags themselves are quite inexpensive and come in a variety of sizes.
