How often did you need a cable from your stash last year? If you don’t use them, it’s time to get rid of them.If you’re anything like me, you have a box of stray or unused cables somewhere in your house.I try to keep my box to a manageable size, so when the box gets full, it’s time to cull some out. But how do you know what to keep, what to donate and what to toss?
Most phones today either use USB-C or Lightning . My guess is you already have charging cables where you need them — perhaps near your bedside table, in your car or at the office. If you have too many unused USB-C or Lightning cables, especially if they are too short, you can get rid of most of them.I bought a couple of cheap rechargeable LED flashlights last month and they each included a foot-long USB-C cable.
If you have multiple Micro USB or mini USB cables, pick one of each that’s a good length and get rid of the rest.I’d keep one or two HDMI and DisplayPort cables, but toss DVI, VGA or S-video cables.Short coax cables are not of much use. Keep a decent length one and toss the others. Every device comes with its own power cable, so any extras should get a hard look. Perhaps keep one and toss any more.
