I have all my cables zip ties and in labelled clear bags and grouped by cable type into larger bags. It's like my own store inventory, I love it.

Solid. Good care of gear is worth more than their original cost.

Agreed. I also do the same thing for my radio equipment and electronics in general-- all in compartmentalized, clear bags with printed labels on them. I always thought label makers were expensive but I bought a $20 handheld label maker + 3rd party tapes and it's amazing how good this thing is. It's really helped me stay organized.

This way I basically have an inventory that is easily accessible by friends and family, like a shared inventory. The initial process of labelling, zip tying, bagging and boxing everything... That admittedly took a few days of work because I wanted to find and sort every cable/most small electronics, but after that? Smooooth sailing.
