You can avoid entanglement by putting each cable in its own zip lock bag, but otherwise just stick with the drawer; the fact that you want them hidden away shows that you don't need to get at them frequently.

I take it you know the old coil the wire up and wrap the last coil round and round the coil itself trick. Usually stops it coming undone or tangling up with all the other ones. Or a quick wrap of electrical tape at the end, but it goes sticky quite quickly.

Install a shelf bracket or similar in a tall cupboard and drape them over it. Align all of the interesting ends with each other (usually the device end of USB) so you can pick the one you want easily.

I have lots of cables (ethernet, HDMI, USB, extension leads, chargers, etc). What's a neat way of organising so I don't spend ages searching for stuff but they're also hidden away? Drawers just seem to result in a tangled mess, even if I coil them up first.
