Just buy a pack of short extension cables. End of problem.

Here's an example on Amazon.

Here's another.

Plug between the outlet and the wall wart, problem solved.

DC wallwarts have not been a problem for me since I found out about these. Someone here recommended them. Whoever you are, thank you! I'm just about ready to buy my second ten-pack.

These also work well: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CEJW0WQ

$16.99 right now, but they frequently drop as low as $13.99 for a 10-pack of 1 ft cords. Unless you need 10, I doubt this will be much of a deal at the moment.

These make life way easier.

2 600w LEDs and it doesn't exceed 850w on the whole smart plug.
power pictures

Edit: in the power pictures you can see I took extra precaution. Most everything in the tent has built in trips, but I don't trust those or my apartment. I bought these extension cords then routed every plug through one of those to my battery backup using a 1ft extension when needed. Finally, everything is going to a smart plug with energy monitoring so I can calculate what I cost the energy bill every month. This allows me to make sure I grow the value of what I spend on growing at least. So far, I'm still running about even at $40 a month.

I had a similar tangle underneath my work area. you could try something like these:
organizer / tamer to put under the desk,
a box for your surge protector, and
short extenders for power cables to help them all fit in your surge protector

You can buy 1-ft extensions by the bag or singly. Amazon/etekcity or Monoprice are reliable brands.

I remember reading that the cords are short for safety reasons, to prevent snagging, tripping accidents.

Like the hidden cabinet look.. Now you just need a small UPS and some of these for those wall warts...

1ft extension cords should help with your power brick woes:

Sorry for the super long link, but these will change your life.

Those are perfect keeping your power strip from being clogged up with wall warts and things like smart power outlets. They really come in handy, I'm already on my second 10 pack of them.

power strip extensions

Your welcome.

you need to use these in that case

But that big brick would take up 2-3 slots on my power strip. I hate when manufactures make me plug in bricks. I had to get these to deal with that issue.

They are called liberators and you can buy them on Amazon:

Maybe these will work for you:

Check amazon for extension cords. They sell packs of 6/12 inch cords that you can plug into each outlet on a strip and then use to plug in any kind of accessory, like wall warts or smart plugs. It’s not elegant looking, but it’s the best way I’ve found to make use of every socket on a power strip, at least without getting a strip with outlets that rotate to give you more room.

Something like this:

Go on Amazon and get a pack of "plug saver"s or "outlet savers" get 16AWG. Something like this (but there may be cheaper, I just did a quick search) - https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Extension-Outlet-16AWG-13A-Listed/dp/B00CEJW0WQ

Probably not the fix for your situation, but I have way too many wallwarts and these are great https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CEJW0WQ?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

For the sake of isolating variables, see if you still have the same issues. If you do, an iso brick isn't going to fix it either.

you’re welcome

These might be a better solution for whatever UPS you get. It might not look tidy but definitely fixes those wall wart issues

LOL nice.

A bag of these would probably come in handy http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CEJW0WQ

I bought a pack of 6 inch extension cords. I am surprised at how many times I have used them in other similar situations. Might have been these:

https://www.amazon.com/Etekcity-Power-Extension-Outlet-Listed/dp/B00CEJW0WQ/ref=asc_df_B00CEJW0WQ/

I use a few of these. They're amazing.

Also, if needed, these are excellent for getting bricks away from the surge protector. I use a bunch all over the place. They hold onto plugs tightly.

One of these would have helped get you the 6" you needed https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CEJW0WQ

Agreed, labeling them is the best way to do it, even when they're plugged in. For my wall warts, I have them attached to a power strip with these 1ft extension cords so I can actually fit more than one in a strip. All of my electronics I don't use very often (old video game systems, VCRs, old towers, etc) get plugged into one of these power strips so they don't leach power when off. Each switch has a label for the device plugged into it and each cord plugged into it is also labeled. I have all the extenders labeled as well. This way no matter where I am in the power chain, I know what's plugged into what. The only thing that isn't labeled is the powerstrips ...yet.

You're welcome

My brother has a vertdesk (just a different electric sit/stand desk) and he as a tripe monitor mount and got some power extension cables. Should be able to get you up and down without having things come unplugged, and "float" your monitors.

Also, how do you like the EvoDesk? Any good?
