StarTech Under Desk Cable Management Tray

StarTech.com Under Desk Cable Management Tray

A steel tray that screws underneath your desk to keep cables, power strips, and adapters up off the floor — a straightforward fix for a messy, tangled under-desk area.

Key features:

  • 23.6" L x 4.5" D x 3" H (60cm x 11.4cm x 7.6cm) — enough room to hold multiple cables and a power strip together

  • Steel construction, black powder-coated finish — durable and holds up to 11lb (5kg)

  • Open design — a wide opening along the length makes it easy to add or remove cables, and pass-through holes let you route cords through the tray itself

  • Compatible with height-adjustable standing desks

  • Easy installation — mounts by screwing into the underside of your desk; mounting screws included

  • 2-year StarTech warranty with free lifetime technical support

Good to know before buying:

  • Requires screwing into your desk — not a clamp-on or no-drill solution, so it's a semi-permanent fix rather than one you can easily move between desks

  • One reviewer noted the included mounting screws can run a little short for thicker desktops — worth having your own longer screws on hand just in case

  • At around £25–26, it's positioned at the higher end for cable trays, but the steel build and 5kg capacity reflect that

  • Its weight and size make it better suited to a permanent desk setup than a lightweight or temporary workspace

  • If you want a tool-free option instead, StarTech also sells a clamp-on version with adjustable lengths — worth checking if you'd rather avoid drilling

Bottom line: best for anyone setting up a permanent home office or standing desk who wants a genuinely sturdy, screw-mounted cable tray rather than a flimsy clip-on organizer. If you rent, share a desk, or want a no-drill option, look at StarTech's clamp-on alternative instead.
