Dedicated hanging wall?

Drawer full of compartments sorted by function?

Big ole bag of cables covered in wotsits?

Edit: Okay I was looking for ideas, but you guys are all shambles.

< 3m cables: I wrap them into a neat circle and put them in several cardboard boxes sorted by function/extension (e.g. USB-A, USB-C, Power+Kettle).
- 1 extra box for miscellaneous types (e.g. a USB-C to USB-A would go in there)
- All the boxes go into a single drawer.
For long cables: I wrap them into large neat circles and then they all go into the same tote bag hanging under the stairs

I bought plastic bins and a label maker. They are in my closet, individually rolled as you have done, but sorted by type and stacked out of the way.

There's no reason to have them mounted this way unless you're constantly using them, that's prime real estate being occupied by unused cables!

The photo's not mine, and your method sounds similar to mine

Yeah I read that this was not your method, I'm still calling out how I think it's crazy in the picture!
