Clothespins, carabiners, tiedown straps, and S-hooks. They are all physical fasteners. My apartment and equipment are littered with them. Any thing that has a loop can thus be attached to any other thing with a loop. Any cable can be simply knotted once to hold a carabiner, thus any cable can be attached to any loop.

It feels like adult Lego. Just wish more things had loops.
