Extended Product Information
FAQs
What material is the Cable Hole Tidy made from?
The product description does not specify the material, but it is designed for exterior use and is typically made from durable plastic.
Does the pack include screws or silicone sealant?
No, the pack only contains 10 Cable Hole Tidies. Screws and silicone sealant must be purchased separately.
Can I paint the Cable Hole Tidy?
While not explicitly stated, the surface is likely paintable with exterior-grade paints. Test on a small area first. Ensure any paint does not compromise the sealant's adhesion if used.
What is the purpose of the orange color?
The bright orange color is for high visibility, which can aid in locating cable entry points for maintenance or service.
How many cables can fit under one plate?
The plate is 10cm x 10cm. It can accommodate one or more cables as long as they fit within this area and can be adequately sealed.
Is this product suitable for indoor use?
While it can be used indoors, it is specifically designed with weather resistance features for exterior applications.
Troubleshooting
Plate does not sit flush against the wall.
Ensure the brickwork is relatively smooth around the cable entry point. If necessary, use a small amount of silicone sealant to fill any significant gaps before pressing the plate into place.
Water ingress is still occurring.
Re-apply silicone sealant around the edges of the plate and where the cable exits the plate. Ensure a continuous seal has been created.
Screws are not holding the plate securely.
Use appropriate wall anchors for your brick type and ensure pilot holes are drilled to the correct size. Consider using silicone sealant in addition to screws for a stronger hold.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation:
- Position the Cable Hole Tidy over the cable entry point on the exterior brickwork.

- For adhesive installation: Apply a generous bead of exterior-grade silicone sealant around the perimeter of the plate and the cable entry point. Press the plate firmly into place. Ensure the cable is also sealed to the plate to prevent water ingress.
