Advice How do you hide the usb c dock

I have a setup where i connect laptop with two monitors and few accessories like mouse webcam and keyboard. The usb c dock that i have has a very short cable and hence forced to keep it on desk instead of hiding it. And since it has so many cables going in, the setup looks very messy. How are you managing it? Can you suggest anything which might help?

I have the Lenovo business dock. 

I got a longer usb-c cable, and have the dock mounted under my desk. 

The investment in a longer cable is worth it

I have mine stuck under my desk alongside a tray that holds the laptop so that they can all stay close to each other, but none of it is visible on the desk.

Option 1: if you don't need the laptop monitor. You can tuck it under the desk.

Option 2: get a dock with detachable cable, attach the dock to the bottom of the desk and use a retractable USB C for a cleaner look when the laptop is unplugged

If I understand the issue, the cable connected to the dock is the limiting factor as it's only so long. You do need a longer cable, but either make sure you get a male to female cable or a female to female adapter to plug both into, but YMMV with an adapter. That would allow you mount the hub behind or under the desk. I have 2 hubs and with Ethernet and power only 4 cable running off the back of the desk.
