Securing loose wires in the closet?

I want to install a USB port near my bed. In order to do so, I'll need to run two 16-gauge wires along the inside corner of my closet.

The best thing I can think of is to just use some duct tape to hold it in the corner, to prevent it from dangling around, and to prevent clothes hangers from getting caught on it. I'm not excited about that, because I'm not sure if the tape will stick to the wood very well, and will probably come loose in hot weather.

Are there any other better options for holding the wire in place?
  • couple of options.

    hot melt glue?
    3M adhesive clips
    run it in a wire channel and cover it
  • You could use what we called sticky backs they stick to the wall and hold tie wraps.
    Or get some plastic Wiremould race way and stick it to the wall.

    Dusty
  • You can get some stick on tabs that have a hole for a tywrap to go through at you home center.
