FAQs
What is the maximum number of cables this protector can hold?
The capacity depends on the thickness of your cables. It's designed to hold multiple standard power cords and data cables. Arrange them neatly within the channel for best results.
Can this cable protector be used outdoors?
This product is designed for indoor applications on flat surfaces. Outdoor use may expose it to elements that could degrade the rubber and compromise its performance and safety features.
Is the rubber material fire-retardant?
The product description does not specify if the rubber is fire-retardant. It is designed for cable management and trip hazard reduction, not as a fire safety device.
How long is the cable protector?
The Actiasgear Heavy Duty Rubber Floor Cable Protector is 5 metres long.
What are the dimensions of the channel?
The protector has a width of 10cm and a height of 3cm, referring to the overall external dimensions of the product.
Does it require any tools for installation?
No, it is designed to be simply laid on a flat surface. No tools are required for basic setup.
What is the warranty period for this product?
Warranty information is not provided in the product details. Please refer to the retailer or manufacturer's website for warranty specifics.
Troubleshooting
Cable protector is not lying flat
Allow the protector to unroll completely and lie flat in a warm environment for a few hours to help it relax. Ensure the floor surface is perfectly flat.
Cables are difficult to fit inside
Ensure cables are arranged neatly before inserting them into the channel. For very thick cables, you may need to use the protector for fewer cables or consider a wider model if available.
Protector shifts during use
Ensure the floor is clean and dry. The anti-slip surface should provide grip, but in extremely high-traffic areas, consider using double-sided tape or a suitable floor adhesive for added security, though this deviates from its no-fix design.

- No permanent installation required, easy to reposition.
- Provides a neat and organized cable management solution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Simply unroll the cable protector and place it on a clean, flat surface where you need to manage cables. Position it along the path of your cables. Open the channel, lay your cables inside, and close the channel. It is designed to lie flat without any fixings for temporary or mobile use. For more permanent installations, consider appropriate adhesives if needed, though it's designed for no-fix use.
Compatibility: This protector is suitable for indoor use on hard, flat surfaces like floors in offices, homes, workshops, and event venues. It is compatible with standard power cords, extension cables, and network data cables.
Care: To clean, wipe down with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the protector is dry before laying cables to prevent moisture buildup. Periodically check that it remains flat and secure on the floor, especially in high-traffic areas.
