I worked with embedded SE and EE's at an electric airplane company and I learned a very useful piece of equipment to organize cables, search for "Test Lead Rack Holder". These are usually used to hold oscilloscope probes, bench power supply leads, etc., but they come in different pitch sizes and do a great job of holding everything else (usb, serial, audio, etc).

You just screw them high up on the wall and all your cables can snugly fit. I have two racks and they're already completely full. But I can find a cable I need in mere seconds, compared to the minutes of digging through boxes and untangling them only to find the other end of the cable is a mismatch etc.
