A simple cable management solution for the Raspberry Pi v1

This video shows exactly how to organize your Raspberry Pi cables into a neat bundle all terminating at just one side of a Raspberry Pi (built into a PI-STACK) instead of every side.

The HDMI plug is a right angled HDMI adapter that works fine but is a little bulky. If you get one , make sure that the flat side of the metal connector is "up" so the female end points to the right (as on video). I am still on the lookout for a more compact right angle adapter/cable.

Here is a link to the one I got from Kenable_Ltd via Amazon for £2.35 (Description: "HDMI Horizontal 270 Degree Right Angled Adapter Socket to Plug" )

It is a 90 degree adapter but it's a bit too large for optimal use. I am still looking for a more compact one !

Great effort but why not just use tywraps? It just looks ugly like that

There are obviously other configurations that could be tried. The main lesson to be learned is that using right handed cables (or adapters) enables all the cables to be routed to one side of the PI-STACK/Raspberry Pi. I discovered that, using the "three prong clasp" enables the cables to be held in place in a linear fashion to assist the direction of the cables as they emerge from the combined bundle.- and also helps keep the cables in the correct sequence relative to each other. Just try it!

Hello, I like your video. I was wondering what you're using for the HDMI plug, it looks like it's some kind of 90 degree angle plug? Thanks!
