The Pro Power Coaxial Cable Clips are designed for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and professional installers who need a secure, long-term solution for routing and organizing 5.0mm to 6.0mm round cables. These clips provide a robust hold thanks to their polyethylene construction and hardened metal nails, though they are specifically sized for mid-range round cables and may not be suitable for flat or oversized cabling.

FAQs
Can these clips be used outdoors?
Yes, the polyethylene construction provides good weather resistance, though they are primarily optimized for interior environments.
Are these suitable for flat ethernet cables?
No, these are specifically designed for round cables only. Using them with flat cables may result in an insecure hold.
Will the metal nail rust?
The nails are hardened for strength, but they are not stainless steel. They are best suited for dry indoor use.
How far apart should I place the clips?
For most coaxial installations, spacing them 30-50 centimeters apart provides sufficient support and a tidy appearance.
Can I remove these clips if I move the cable?
They can be removed by prying the nail out, but the hardened nail will leave a small hole in the mounting surface.
Troubleshooting
The nail bends during installation.
Ensure you are using a hammer of appropriate weight and hitting the nail head squarely. Avoid hammering into extremely dense hardwood or concrete without pre-drilling a pilot hole.
The clip snaps when closing around the cable.
Verify that your cable diameter is within the 5.0mm-6.0mm range. If the cable is too thick, the clip's polyethylene may reach its elastic limit and crack.
The clip does not hold the cable tightly.
Check if the mounting surface is uneven. Try to place the clip on a flatter section of the wall or baseboard to allow the clip to sit flush against the cable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, place your 5.0-6.0 mm round cable into the arch of the clip. Use a standard hammer to drive the pre-attached metal nail into the mounting surface. For best results, position the clips at consistent intervals to ensure even tension across the cable run.
- Compatibility: Specifically rated for round cables with a diameter of 5.0 mm to 6.0 mm. Do not attempt to use these with significantly thicker cables as the clip may break.
- Surface Care: While designed for wood and drywall, ensure you are not hitting electrical conduits or pipes behind the mounting surface before hammering.
- Maintenance: These clips are maintenance-free, though they should be inspected once a year to ensure the nail hasn't loosened due to vibration.
