Called 17 in in the name, 16.5 in in the first bullet
A shallow screw-fixed tray with a partially closed body and an open front, rated at 11 lb, whose product name and first specification bullet give two different lengths.
VIVO low-profile screw-mounted cable tray
Best for: A fixed desk where the tray should disappear completely rather than carry a power strip.
This is the shallowest tray on the shelf and the one most clearly built to vanish: a partially closed body that hides what is inside it, an open front so a cable can be added without unmounting anything, and a 3 in width that will take a bundle of cables but not a power strip lying flat.
It publishes the two figures that matter for a screw mount. The capacity is 11 lb, which puts it between the 10 lb and 15 lb trays among the US listings in this hub, and the mounting holes are 11 in apart — the number you need before a drill touches the underside of a desk. VIVO states wood or particle board only, which rules out a metal frame or a glass top.
One thing the listing does not settle is how long it is. The product name says 17 in. The first bullet says “this unobtrusive 16.5” x 3” tray”, and repeats 16.5 in at the head of the same bullet. Both figures are VIVO’s own, printed a line apart, and nothing on the page reconciles them. On a tray whose whole purpose is to fit a specific span under a desk, that is the specification to measure against the hole spacing rather than against either number.

The listing says both. The product name reads "VIVO Low Profile 17 in Under Desk Cable Management Tray" and the first bullet reads "Low Profile 16.5” Cable Rack... this unobtrusive 16.5” x 3” tray". The bullet is the one that comes with a width attached and states 16.5 in twice, but the two figures are both VIVO’s and the half-inch is not reconciled anywhere. The mounting holes, given as 11 in apart, are the dimension that actually has to match the desk.
At 3 in wide, not a normal one. This hub distinguishes a tray sized for a whole power strip plus cable slack from a channel sized for cables, and at 16.5 by 3 in this is the second kind. VIVO describes it as routing and concealing AV cables and power strips, and the 11 lb rating is generous for the volume — the constraint here is width, not weight.
Two screw-fixed metal trays, each 14.5 by 5 by 3.4 in, stated to hold up to 15 lb — the highest published capacity in this hub — screwed on, like the VIVO, so they do not rely on clamp pressure.
Best for: A standing desk you are willing to drill, where the mount must not move for years.
A clamp-on welded metal tray that fits desktops from 0.4 to 2.4 in with no drilling, rated to 10 lb, and can be mounted with its opening facing in or out.
Best for: A standing desk or a glass top, where nothing should be drilled and the tray may need to move.
The largest tray surface in this hub at 13.38 by 7 in, ventilated and open-grid, mounted by adjustable no-drill brackets — and the only American tray here that publishes no weight figure.
Best for: A desk with a power strip and several bulky adapters that need air around them.
A telescopic aluminum pole on a weighted metal base with the highest published load capacity on this shelf, 1.76 lb — and a pole that detaches to be used in the hand.
Best for: A webcam that has to reach the middle of a large monitor from a desk with no free edge.
A 30 in gooseneck on an upgraded clamp base, with a published 1.5 lb limit and a listing unusually willing to say where the thing fails.
Best for: A webcam that needs to come over the top of a monitor, on a desk that does not wobble.
A weighted-base telescopic stand with a swivel ball head and a phone holder, positioned against flimsy plastic alternatives — and publishing no height, load or base weight.
Best for: A glass desk or a desk with no free edge, where a clamp is not an option.
