Trim it down to one of each cable. You don't need a half-dozen patch cables. That weird wall-wart with the proprietary DIN plug for the laptop you no longer have, or the voltage- and milliamp-specific application you'll never need. The 4 SATA cables...etc.
Pare it down in order of likely need. You might need a couple USB cables and maybe a couple SATA cables, but you don't need 3 34-pin floppy drive ribbon cables.
I threw out about a dozen DC adapters last month (2 replaced in use adapters, another ~10 in "the box") after finding these USB C PD to various voltage and amp DC barrel plugs on Amazon:

There's tons of kinds, and they're probably a fire hazard, but I can buy a USB-C PD power strip and some short 6, 8, and 12 inch USB-C cables to power my dsl router, wifi AP, raspberry pi, and NUC, all with one wall outlet and none of the cable mess.
If these are USB-C driven, how can you shift the volts or amps? Won’t you need a separate USB-C PD charger to drive these adapters?
Yeah. A 7 port USB wall charger.
