Jim,
What's the difference between a cable organizer and a patchbay?

I also connect up the cable at both ends, so I know how much lenth is required.  then, coil up the slack, and tie it up with a twisty tie.  That leads to much less loose cable lying around.  Try not to put one coil of cable on top of another, or things will be worse.
