Logical CableNest

Contain the cables. Keep calm.

Messy power adapters and cable sprawl are one of the fastest ways to make a workspace feel chaotic—especially when that workspace isn’t permanent. The Logical CableNest was designed to solve exactly that problem.

CableNest is a ventilated cable management box that contains power adapters and cables while keeping them organized, cool, and easy to move. It’s designed to sit neatly behind a computer or notebook screen, but it works just as well anywhere you need to tame cable clutter.


What It Is

CableNest is a 100% 3D-printed, snap-together containment box for power bricks, chargers, and excess cable length. Open hex-pattern walls allow heat to escape while keeping everything visually contained and out of the way.

All CableNest models share the same height and depth, with multiple widths available to suit different setups—from compact laptop workspaces to multi-monitor desks.


How It Works

Power adapters load through the hinged split top, cables are routed out either end, and the ventilated walls allow heat to escape during use.
Once closed, CableNest keeps cables organized, concealed, and accessible when needed.

Because everything is contained in a single unit, the entire setup can be picked up and moved—ideal for shared tables, hot-desking, or temporary workspaces.


In Use

Placed behind a monitor or notebook, CableNest largely disappears from view while still keeping power accessible. Opening the top provides immediate access to adapters and cables without unplugging anything.

CableNest is equally at home in:

  • Shared family workspaces
  • Home offices
  • Maker desks
  • Temporary or mobile setups

Modular by Design

CableNest can be used entirely on its own, or paired with the optional Logical DeskBox, which sits neatly on top and adds tool and desk-accessory storage. Together, they form a compact, portable desk system—but each component also works independently.

Sizes Available

CableNest is available in multiple widths, all sharing the same height and depth.
Different widths allow you to scale the system based on the number of power adapters and cables in your setup.

Note: Listings show a representative size. Various sizes are available.


Why CableNest Exists

CableNest was designed around a simple idea:
power management shouldn’t force you into a permanent desk.

By containing cables in a ventilated, movable box, CableNest helps keep workspaces tidy without sacrificing flexibility.
