Product Information

Full details

This guide is for professionals in offices, retail, and workshops who need to manage cables and wiring without permanent fixtures. The key benefit is the ability to instantly attach, detach, and move cables, saving significant time during installations and refits. A caveat to consider is that the 5.7Kg pull strength is rated for vertical positioning against a steel surface. This product provides a versatile, reusable solution for temporary or reconfigurable cable management needs, eliminating the need for drilling or adhesives.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of this magnet?

The primary advantage is its ability to attach and detach cables instantly without drilling or adhesives, saving significant time and effort during installations and changes.

What is the maximum weight this magnet can support?

The magnet is rated to support up to 5.7Kg in a vertical position when attached to a steel surface.

Does the rubber coating serve a purpose beyond protection?

Yes, the rubber coating enhances the magnet's weight-bearing capacity and provides a non-slip grip on the surface it attaches to.

What size cables can the rubber clamp accommodate?

The rubber clamp is designed to accommodate cables up to 16mm in diameter.

Can this magnet be used on non-steel surfaces?

No, the magnetic attachment requires a ferromagnetic surface, such as steel, to function correctly.

How do I clean the magnet?

You can clean the magnet by wiping it with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching.

Is this product reusable?

Yes, the magnet is designed for repeated attachment and detachment, making it highly reusable for dynamic installations.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the surface is steel and clean. Verify the cable is within the clamp's 16mm capacity and the clamp is properly secured around the cable. Check the vertical pull strength rating (5.7Kg) is not exceeded.

Rubber clamp is loose or damaged

Inspect the clamp for signs of wear. If damaged, consider replacing the magnet unit or using an alternative securing method if the clamp is not essential for your application.

Magnet leaves marks on the surface

Ensure the rubber coating is intact and clean. Wipe both the magnet and the surface before attachment. For very sensitive surfaces, consider adding a thin, non-abrasive barrier material between the magnet and the surface if feasible for your setup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for drilling or adhesives.
  • Allows for instant attachment, detachment, and repositioning of cables.
  • Rubber coating protects surfaces and enhances grip.
  • Reduces installation time and labor costs.
  • Versatile for temporary or frequently changing setups.

Cons

  • Pull strength is rated for vertical use on steel surfaces.
  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy loads or non-magnetic surfaces.
  • Requires a steel surface for magnetic attachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Identify a clean, flat steel surface where the magnet will be attached.
  2. Ensure the magnet and the steel surface are free from dust, grease, or debris for optimal magnetic adhesion.
  3. Position the magnet on the steel surface.
  4. Place the cable(s) within the 16mm rubber clamp.
  5. Adjust the clamp to secure the cable(s) firmly.

Compatibility:

  • Requires a ferromagnetic surface (e.g., steel) for magnetic attachment.
  • The 16mm rubber clamp is suitable for cables within this diameter range.

Care:

  • Wipe the magnet and clamp with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed.
  • Avoid exposing the magnet to extreme temperatures or harsh chemicals, which could damage the rubber coating or magnetic properties.
  • Periodically check the clamp for wear and tear.
