The Cinati under-desk cable tray is a wire basket that clamps onto the desktop edge rather than screwing into the underside, so it works on a rented desk, a glass desk, or anything you do not want to put holes in. The power strip, the charging bricks, and the cable slack all go up into the basket and out of sight, which is what actually makes a desk look clean in photos and keeps the cables off the floor for vacuuming. Clamps adjust to fit a range of desktop thicknesses and grip with padded contact points so they do not mark the surface. Best fit: renters, standing desks where dangling cables catch on things, and any desk that photographs badly because of the nest underneath.

- The clamp needs an accessible desk edge, so it will not work on a desk with a thick apron or a solid front panel
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to drill into my desk?
No. It clamps onto the edge of the desktop. That is the main reason people choose this over screw-mounted trays, especially in rentals.
What desk thickness does the clamp fit?
The clamps adjust across a range covering most standard desktops. Measure your desktop thickness and check it against the listing, since very thick butcher block tops can exceed the range.
Will it hold a full power strip?
Yes, holding the power strip is the point. A standard six-outlet strip plus a couple of charging bricks fits comfortably.
Does it work on a standing desk that moves?
Yes, and it is arguably more useful there, since it keeps cables from catching as the desk travels. Make sure the clamps are fully tightened before the first raise.
