Chromebook Cart Magic

Here are some great tips from Ian Banker at Wando on getting your Chromebook Cart organized.

Big Picture:

I wanted the Chromebook cart organized with the plugs in the front so they can easily be connected and charged.

Step 1) Set up zip tie wiring above each of the Chromebook areas.

Step 2) String the chords through the zip tie wiring so that the cable hangs over the front zip tie.

Step 3) Zip tie the wires together into groups of 5 in the front, such that it is nearly impossible to pull them out of place.

Step 4) Color and number code!

Detailed pictures and for each step:

1. Set up zip ties to hang cables on...

There are basically 3 full rings under each platform, made of 5 zip ties each.

2. Weave chords through zip ties

One side of the plugs will weave through the top chrome books, the other side will weave through the bottom.

Weave each plug over and under the zip ties, such that the plug will hang over the zip tie that is closest to the front.

3. Plug in and minimize slack

Adjust the slack of each chord in the back so that there is no extra “dangle.”

Next, zip tied chords in the back so that is is hard to pull the chords forward.

Finally, zip tie the chords together, in groups of 5, around the front zip tie so that they are in groups of 5.
