Comment on Cable management is an art form
Revan343@lemmy.ca 1 day agoThey’re just about always so tight it feels uncomfortable to cut those when youre dealing with fibres or just about anything
Use dikes, not a knife, and cut the head of the tie, not the strap
I use whatever I have with me, sometimes I have the tools with me but I’d lie if I said I always carry the toolbag around.
Yeah I do sometimes have dykes at hand but that shouldnt be necessary in professional environment.
Still hate the zipties in this context tho
Nah, use flush cutters and attack it from the side, or just cut the head off.

Flush cutters specifically. And you cut the side of the head opposite the tail with the cutter flat against the face of the tail passing through the head.

Can’t believe ppl just use knives, lol, I would cut all the things with a cable.

To be fair, it’s a technique that’s not obvious to everyone. I remember when my old boss taught me at my first maintenance job
