I'm not an expert, Margaret, but I would think it's OK to just coil it up and drop it behind the bookcase.
Unless-- there was a transformer on the plug, making the plug into one of those big lumps which weigh a ton, or a transformer on the end of a short cable which the hub cable plugged into.
My Hub5 has a transformer plug, a big lump, but I can get at it.
I know transformers can overheat, I wouldn't leave one plugged in forever.

I'm sure our experts will be able to help.
