FAQs

What surfaces can these magnets be attached to?

These magnets are designed to attach to any clean, flat ferrous metal surface, such as steel. They will not adhere to wood, plastic, glass, or aluminum.

Do I need any tools to install these magnets?

No, no tools are required for installation. The magnets attach magnetically, and the cable is held by the integrated clip.

How much weight can the magnet support?

The vertical load capacity depends on the specific magnet size and the strength of the steel surface. The product description for each variant will provide specific pull force ratings, typically measured in kilograms.

Will the rubber coating scratch my surfaces?

No, the rubber coating is designed to protect surfaces from scratches while also enhancing the magnet's grip.

Can these magnets be used outdoors?

While the magnets can hold in outdoor environments, prolonged exposure to moisture and elements may affect the longevity of the rubber coating and the steel components. It's recommended to keep them in protected areas where possible.

How do I clean the magnet?

Wipe the magnet and rubber coating with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.

Can I attach multiple cables with one magnet?

The magnets are typically designed with one cable clip per magnet, suitable for holding a single cable or a small bundle depending on the clip size.

Troubleshooting

Magnet not holding securely

Ensure the magnet is placed on a clean, flat steel surface. Check for any obstructions or a thick layer of paint on the steel. The surface must be ferrous metal.

Rubber coating is dirty

Wipe the rubber coating with a damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse with a clean damp cloth and allow to air dry.

Cable clip feels loose

Ensure the cable is appropriately sized for the clip. If the clip itself is damaged, consider replacing the unit.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates need for drilling or adhesives
  • Allows for quick and easy repositioning of cables
  • Protects surfaces from scratches
  • Reduces installation time and labor costs
  • Provides a strong hold on steel surfaces

Cons

  • Requires a steel surface for magnetic attachment
  • Weight capacity is dependent on the surface and orientation
  • Not suitable for permanent, heavy-duty structural support
  • The white color may show dirt over time in industrial settings

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use, simply place the magnet against a clean, flat steel surface. Attach the cable clip to the magnet, then insert your cable into the clip. The magnet will hold the cable securely in place.

Compatibility: This product requires a ferrous metal (steel) surface for effective magnetic attachment. It is not compatible with wood, plastic, aluminum, or non-ferrous surfaces. Ensure the steel surface is clean and free from grease or debris for optimal adhesion.

Care: Clean the magnet and rubber coating periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the rubber coating. Ensure the magnet remains free of metallic debris that could interfere with its grip.
