Reusable silicone gear ties

Keeping cords, wires and lines organized is a heck of a thing. These handy silicone gear ties help me stay organized.

Working in datacenter taught me to love neatly organized, and clearly labeled wiring. At home I'm generally a disaster, but these rubberized wire gear ties are helping a lot. Substantial enough to not be immediately lost, I am using these to hold laptop power cables, Vanagon curtains, and stereo cabling in place. I assume the silicone isolates said wire, and I'm not creating an audiophile nightmare.

Anyways, these reusable gear ties seems to make a lot more sense than plastic zip ties. I like them.
