Keep power off the floor
A clamp-on tray can hold a power strip without drilling, but only when the desk edge has sufficient clearance. A small cable box is the fallback for desks that cannot accept clamps.
Adhesive is not automatically damage-free
Paint age, wall preparation, heat, and removal technique affect results. Keep adhesive accessories light and avoid treating marketing claims as guarantees against damage.
Separate signal and strain
Provide slack at moving monitor arms and laptop ports. Secure the heavy power brick independently so its weight does not pull on a connector.
Label both ends
A simple label makes moves and troubleshooting faster, especially when a dock hides several similar cables.
Products described as tested were physically evaluated. Specification-based recommendations are labeled and never presented as hands-on tests.
