I refactor the box every year because there are usually some new cables.

Some simple empirical rules:

  • keep the shorter cables
  • maximum of 3 cables of the same type: for donating, for lending, for spare
  • USB cables that can transfer data > USB cables that don't transfer data
  • no damaged cables
  • store long cables as coils (tied up tight)
  • store short cables in bunches (tied up tight)
  • should be sorted and grouped into categories
  • box should be sealed, but aired out once in a while (outgassing)

Wait why does the box need to be closed?

Less degradation of the plastic maybe? Idk

I think so. Keeps the insulation from dry rotting.

Keeping it closed also means that you don't have to breathe it in (and prevents dust from getting in).
