HDMI Adapters do not need much attention. But the cables do. So, you need to make use of the pass-through boxes; also known as HDMI switches. Using it, you can select the HDMI source for TV.

To get over an issue like this one, you can twist-tie the cables and secure them to confined areas that are far from the walking path. Bind the cables, keep them proximate to the device and tie them at the distance of 4 to 6 inches. Also, after you twist tie the cables, it would be easier for you to move them in case you relocate.

If you want to keep this untidy and dangerous situation at bay, it is advisable to keep different components together. When you keep the HDMI wires in one direction and in proximity with the HDTVs, AV receivers or projectors, it will shorten the distance between the components and receiving device.
The above-mentioned points are a sure shot way to keep your HDMI cables organized. Make sure that you follow these tips so that you do not get overwhelmed and exhausted when it comes to managing them. But before you do that, some of you might wonder...
