WARNIING!!! Newbie Question - Cable Storage
Simon_RL:
Hi All,
I apologise for this question in advance. I have done a search of the forum and the internet and cannot find any conclusive answers. Basically I am an absolute noob (only just learnt Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law) to electronics and this forum. I am trying to find out if it is ok to hang test cables, such as oscilloscope probes, multimeter leads etc..? My work space is a little cramped and was thinking if I can hang my test cables it will be great as they as to hand.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon.
Yansi:
Yes, they can hang.
Simon_RL:
Thanks Yansi

Make sure the ends are pointing up or all electrons will fall out ;D
As for scope probes, these are coaxial cables so try not to bend them too much.
You can coil them in about 15cm diameter (like they come in the package) and hang the resulting donut on a hook, but if you bend them in half and then hang, I think it may not be healthy for the cable.

Consider these E-Z Hook Cable and Test Lead Wall Brackets:

Scroll down and you will see they come with differing slot widths for different size cable.
