Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals and DIYers needing a flexible, non-damaging solution for managing cables and wiring. The key benefit is instant attachment, detachment, and repositioning of cables without drilling or adhesives, saving significant time during installations and refits in offices, retail spaces, and workshops. A potential caveat is that the holding strength is dependent on the surface and the magnet's contact area, requiring careful consideration for heavier loads or critical applications. This pack contains 10 white rubber-coated magnets, each 43mm in diameter and 6mm high, featuring a 19mm cable clip for secure cable management.

FAQs

What surfaces can these magnets be used on?

They work best on flat, smooth ferromagnetic surfaces such as steel, iron, or some metal alloys. They will not adhere to plastic, wood, aluminum, or stainless steel.

How much weight can the magnet hold?

The exact weight capacity depends on the surface material, thickness, and contact area. These are designed for cable management, not for heavy load-bearing.

Can I use these magnets outdoors?

While they can be used outdoors on suitable metal surfaces, the rubber coating and magnet may degrade over time with prolonged exposure to weather elements.

What is the purpose of the rubber coating?

The rubber coating protects the surface the magnet is attached to from scratches and provides a slight grip, preventing the magnet from sliding easily.

How many cables can one magnet hold?

Each magnet has one integrated clip, designed to hold one primary cable securely. Multiple magnets can be used for multiple cables.

Are these magnets stackable for increased strength?

While placing magnets close together can slightly increase the magnetic field in that area, they are not designed to be stacked for significantly increased holding power.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and made of a ferromagnetic material. Check that the entire magnet face is in full contact with the surface. Thicker surfaces may reduce magnetic strength.

Cable is too large for the clip

For larger cables, consider using multiple magnets or a different cable management solution. This clip is designed for standard-sized cables.

Rubber coating is damaged

If the rubber coating is significantly damaged, the magnet may scratch surfaces. Replace the magnet to prevent surface damage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Facilitates quick and easy cable management.
  • Protects surfaces from damage associated with drilling or adhesives.
  • Ideal for temporary installations or frequently changing layouts.
  • Saves considerable labor time on projects.
  • Versatile for various environments like offices, retail, and workshops.

Cons

  • Holding strength is limited by magnetic pull and surface material.
  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy cables or high-vibration environments.
  • Requires a suitable ferromagnetic surface for attachment.
  • The clip size is specific to certain cable diameters.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the magnet onto a clean, dry ferromagnetic surface (like steel or iron). Attach your cable to the integrated 19mm clip. The cable can then be positioned as needed.

Compatibility: These magnets are compatible with any flat, smooth ferromagnetic surface. They are best suited for managing cables within the capacity of the clip and the magnetic pull strength.

Care: To maintain optimal performance, wipe the magnet and clip with a dry or slightly damp cloth periodically to remove dust and debris. Avoid exposing the magnets to extreme heat or corrosive substances, which could damage the rubber coating or compromise magnetic strength.
