Cable clutter is especially disruptive on a small desk because every loose charger or power lead competes with the work surface. A useful plan starts with the desk material and available underside area, then keeps power placement and cable movement within those limits.
An under-desk tray can hold the main cable bundle. Reusable ties can group leads without making later changes difficult, while a raceway can guide the remaining vertical run along a desk leg or suitable surface. Renters should compare adhesive reversibility with the permanent holes required by screw-mounted options before choosing.

How to choose
Measure the clear width and depth beneath the desk before comparing tray footprints.
Check desk material and thickness, then decide whether adhesive or screw mounting is appropriate.
Measure the power strip and bulky plugs as a group rather than assuming they fit a tray.
For a moving desk, keep enough cable slack and choose placement that moves with the desktop.
Plan reusable tie points and any raceway separately so individual cables can still be changed.
For a rental, consider surface preparation, possible adhesive residue, and whether drilling is allowed.

Best for
Smooth, clean desk undersides where drilling is not preferred
Advantages
The two 15.7-inch trays can create separate cable zones beneath a compact desk.
Adhesive installation avoids screw holes when the mounting surface is suitable.
Limitations
The adhesive is unsuitable for textured surfaces, needs preparation and a wait before loading, and is less reversible than a clamp.
Why it fits this guide
The two hard-PVC trays offer a way to divide cables or place shorter runs on opposite sides without requiring one long mounting area.
