Ron,
Usually my rule, too.
I was astonished to find that huge bundled cord, but this is in my
wife's hobby room which is her domain. We had changed location of
the DSL modem and router along the way and I suppose that was an
expedient to keep the system connected. Janet is predisposed to
rearranging furniture a couple times per year in her area (ham shack
is hands-off territory; I even give her clearance when she can vacuum floors).
So, originally, I had the modem/router in the ham shack, then it
moved to her room where she had her computer station, then last
spring she relocated the computer across the hall to our master
bedroom to make room for a folding couch-bed for visitors in the hobby room.
I have a four-port switch (not a router) in the ham shack for routing
to computers (two active at present with shielded ethernet cables and
third cable to use with laptop on occasion). Have more USB cables in
use: four for new computer and seven on old computer.
When we build the new ham shack next summer, all the wall warts will
be eliminated with power sourced from main 12v PS via individual
regulators. Only concern is whether 50-foot will be too long for
connecting to the router at the other end of the house. I will not
use wireless. Old ham shack will be restored to spare bedroom/den (I
have closet converted to library).
2017 will be a busy year for us!

That's a good warning, Ed.
Even at DSL data rates, you are dealing with data signals in the radio
frequency range.
My rule for unshielded cables is "short and sweet is neat".
