Cable dressing

Cable dressing is when you make sure all the wires and cables that are used in a room or area are organized and neat. It’s like tidying up a messy room. You have to make sure all the wires and cables are in the right place and not tangled up or twisted.

For example, if you have a computer with lots of wires and cables all over the place, it can be hard to find the right cable when you need it. But if you have properly dressed cables, they will be sorted out and easy to find.

Cable dressing can also help make sure that your workspace is safe. If cables are not properly dressed, they could be a tripping hazard or get caught on things, which could damage the cables or even cause accidents.

So, cable dressing may seem like a small thing, but it can make a big difference in how easy it is to use your electronics and keep your space safe.
