I have one smaller box in the office with “modern” cables that are still useful, a bigger box in a closet with duplicates and less occasionally useful cables, then a last box with… vintage computer shit that I never touch.
Box one still has one of each of USB-C to Lightning, USB-C to 2.0 Micro, USB 3.1 A-to-B cable, and USB 3.1 C to micro-B, and a few thunderbolt 4 and 5 cables (fully compatible with USB-C, but easier to identify high speed certified cables than the utter USB-C compliance nightmare). Any other USB-C cables are assumed to be charging cables. It also has a few CAT6A, DisplayPort, and Ultra-certified HDMI cables, as well as a few still-useful dongles to round it out.
I somewhat recently relegated all of my USB-A chargers and cables, all of my USB-A to lightning, micro-, and mini- USB cables, and all non-ultra HDMI cables to box two.
When I moved, all coax cables and pre-CAT6 Ethernet cables got moved to box three.
Just one cable box??
