2GOODz extendable steel cable tray for standing desks
Best for: A standing desk whose power strip and adapters should travel with the top, on a desk you can screw into.
The 2GOODz is a powder-coated steel tray that extends from 84 to 122 cm (33.1 to 48 in), so it can be set to the width of the desk rather than bought to size. It is sized for more than loose cables: 2GOODz states it takes power supplies and power strips, the bulky part of a desk’s wiring, and that it suits height-adjustable standing desks.
It screws to the underside of the desktop, with a drilling template, a screwdriver and the hardware in the box, along with cable holders and cable ties. Screwed on, the tray and everything in it rise and fall with a standing desk, so only the one cable from the strip to the wall has to follow the movement. The SURFOU in this hub takes the other approach and clamps on without drilling.
What the listing does not give is a load rating, the figure that matters once a strip and two or three power bricks are hanging from it; the VIVO and Cinati trays in the under-desk cable-tray hub state 11 and 10 lb. The design is described as patent-protected and from Germany. The tray is not listed on Amazon.com, so the button opens a search.

2GOODz states the tray takes power supplies and power strips and suits height-adjustable desks. Screwed under the top, it rises and falls with the desk, so only one cable — the one from the strip to the wall — has to move.
With screws, into the underside of the desktop, using the template supplied. That needs a screwdriver and a top you are willing to drill; the SURFOU tray in this hub clamps on instead.
2GOODz does not publish a load rating. Under-desk trays that do, such as the VIVO (11 lb) and Cinati (10 lb) in the cable-tray hub, give a figure worth comparing before loading a heavy strip and several power bricks.
Ten feet of split sleeving that closes on itself around a bundle, with a published temperature range and a UL recognition no other product in this hub claims.
Best for: A bundle that runs along the floor or behind a desk, where cables need protecting rather than hiding.
Ten elastic-loop clips with a 1 by 1 in base, mountable by adhesive, screw or zip tie, taking a bundle up to an inch across and reopening as often as you like.
Best for: A setup that changes, on a surface where adhesive is not trusted and a screw is allowed.
A mixed kit of sleeves, adhesive clips and ties whose own itemized bullet adds up to 152 pieces where the product name claims 192.
Best for: A first pass at a messy desk, where you do not yet know which of the five approaches will work.
A pair of 9.5 by 4.5 by 1.5 in memory foam pads for armrests 6 to 10.5 in long — the shorter sibling of the 11 in Aloudy pillows, with the same velvet cover and the same allergy warning.
Best for: A short to standard armrest, 6 to 10.5 in long, that needs a soft, washable cover.
The thickest pads in this hub at 2.7 in, arc-contoured with a cooling gel insert over memory foam, and the only ones to publish a fit window as wide as 3 to 6 in.
Best for: A wide or padded armrest that is also too low, where the pad has to raise the arm as well as soften it.
The least expensive pair of armrest cushions in this hub, with a sponge filling and a non-slip base — and a listing that publishes no dimension of any kind.
Best for: A chair whose armrests are a common size, where the cost of being wrong is small.
