I've looked at the Lindy stuff and will probably get some in due course - as I want a 20metre cable run to go from my backyard into the dining room.

The cheaper alternative is a 5m powered or active extension from Dick Smiths or Jaycar and plug your hub into that.

Ideally you would get a powered hub as well, but see if the hub you have works with a 5 meter powered extension before committing more dollars to the problem. I think Mike W uses a 5 metre powered extension and a non-powered hub.

As for cable management - try starting with cable ties or strips of the velco that sticks to itself.
