+1000 did _exactly_ this right down to the ziploc. Also a bag for audio, HDMI, old apple cables, and "random" cables. These days, I store the ziplocs in a pelican-type case and that goes in a stack with cases for power cords, camera gear, SBC gear,etc - and the stacks all go on furniture dollies, so I can roll them out.
What bag does a cable with HDMI on one end and USB C on the other end go into?
The most specialized standard wins, so in this case I'd say HDMI.
Obviously, one cuts a small hole in the ziploc bags and runs the cable between them so that each connector can be in the correct bag.
In my system that lands in the "adapters" bin which has has a "display" bag within it.
That's still a topic of active debate
No, active HDMI cables go in a different bin.
Either create a 2-dimensional categorization system or create a priority hierarchy.
It's own bag, it won't feel lonely for long :)
