Abstract
Compositions and methods keep cords, such as electrical connectors for computers and home entertainment systems, tidy and organized with clasp members that run at least partly along the exterior cord surface. Cords may be optionally coupled to other cords in a concatenated arrangement, for example, and cords may be coupled to one or more objects such as a desk or a cabinet. A cord coupled to another cord or to an object may be optionally decoupled from the other cord or from the object.
