Patch Cable Management Solution From Aldi’s ‘Aisle Of Shame’ Cost $3.99
If the patch cables on your modular synth or in your studio are getting out of control, you might want to drop Aldi and pick up some of their $3.99 color-coded Cable Ties and Cable Labels.
We happened upon these in Aldi’s Aisle Of Shame – the aisle in the center of the store where they have limited-time deals. The stuff is this aisle is priced so low that you find yourself walking out with a cast iron dutch oven and a dog sofa, when you just came for some groceries.
Both the ties and labels are made of ‘self-gripping fabric’, aka knockoff Velcro:
- The Cable Ties are 6 inches long and come in a variety of colors. They have an integrated loop, so you can attach the tie to power cords, so it’s always there when you need it.
- The Cable Labels, below, are about 2 inches long, folded, and are designed so that you can write on them.
The ties look like the ones that are carried at Guitar Center, but at about half the price.
Aldi’s Aisle Of Shame items change regularly, so we picked up several packages of both, while we there. If you miss the deal, though, you can get similar cable ties by the gross at Amazon for about $8.
