I hoard books, cables, and clothing. I am also a professional digital archivist. I want to organize my personal cables, some of which are old and discontinued, and which I save to access old connections.
I think the best way might be to first identify proprietary-ish USB cables and label them.
After that, put each cable in large bags based on the shapes of the connectors/adapters: USB-C, usb-A, usb C-to-A, serial, sata, vga, etc.
I don’t know of any way to determine transfer speed on USB cables, except that 1.1 will likely look old.
First, does this sound like a good way to organize?
Second, freezer ziplocs are absolutely brilliant for this purpose, but I’d like something that doesn’t accumulate static. Is there anything I can do to get large transparent bags which don’t accumulate static?
