FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity?
Each mount has a pull strength of 6.1kg when positioned vertically against a steel surface.
Can I use this on painted steel surfaces?
Yes, you can use it on painted steel surfaces, provided the paint is not excessively thick and the surface is clean. However, the magnetic strength may be slightly reduced compared to bare steel.
What size cables can the mount accommodate?
The mount is designed to hold standard cable ties (4.7mm width included). The size of the cable bundle it can manage depends on the cable tie used.
Will these damage my surfaces?
When used correctly on clean surfaces and removed carefully by sliding, they should not cause damage. Avoid dragging them across delicate finishes.
Can I use these outdoors?
The operating temperature range is -35°C to 85°C, making them suitable for many outdoor conditions. However, prolonged exposure to moisture and corrosive elements may affect the magnet and surface over time.
Are these reusable?
Yes, the magnetic mounts are fully reusable and can be repositioned as needed.
What is the difference between the black and silver versions?
The primary difference is the color. Both black and silver versions utilize the same strong neodymium magnets and have the same specifications and performance.
Troubleshooting
Mount is not holding securely.
Ensure the surface is steel and clean. Check for any paint, rust, or debris interfering with the magnet's contact. Try a different location on the steel surface.
Cable keeps slipping out of the tie.
Ensure the cable tie is tightened properly around the cables. Consider using a slightly smaller or larger cable tie if the included one is not suitable for your cable bundle size.
Mount detaches unexpectedly.
Verify the weight of the cables does not exceed the 6.1kg vertical pull limit. Ensure the mount is placed on a flat or gently curved steel surface for maximum contact area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely fast and easy to install and reposition.
- No permanent damage to surfaces, ideal for rented or sensitive spaces.
- Strong magnetic hold suitable for moderate to heavy cables.
- Versatile application on various steel surfaces, including curved ones.
- Durable construction with a wide operating temperature range.
Cons
- Requires a ferrous (steel) surface for attachment; will not work on non-magnetic materials.
- The included cable tie is a single item; additional ties may be needed.
- May not be suitable for extremely high-vibration environments without additional securing.
- Pull strength is rated vertically; horizontal holding strength may differ.
- Can potentially scratch delicate surfaces if not carefully placed or removed.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the target steel surface is clean, dry, and free of grease or debris for optimal magnetic adhesion. Place the mount onto the steel surface. Thread your cable or cable tie through the mount's integrated loop and secure your cable(s) with the provided or a suitable cable tie.
Compatibility: This product is designed to work exclusively with ferrous metal (steel) surfaces. It will not adhere to aluminum, plastic, wood, or other non-magnetic materials.
Care: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. To remove, gently slide the mount off the surface rather than pulling forcefully to prevent potential marring of delicate surfaces.
