FAQs
What is the maximum cable diameter this tidy can hold?
The cable tidy is designed to accommodate cables up to approximately 8mm in diameter.
Can I use this on a textured desk surface?
The self-adhesive backing works best on smooth, clean surfaces. Performance on textured surfaces may vary, and removal could potentially damage the surface.
How many cables can the double channel hold?
The double channel can hold multiple thin cables, provided their combined diameter does not exceed the approximate 8mm limit per channel.
Will the adhesive damage my desk when I remove it?
The adhesive is designed for easy removal without significant damage. However, it's always recommended to test on an inconspicuous area first, especially on delicate finishes.
Can I reuse the cable tidy after removing it?
Once removed, the adhesive may lose its tack. It's generally recommended to use a new piece of double-sided tape for reapplication, or to purchase a new unit for best results.
Are these cable tidies waterproof?
The product is intended for indoor desk use and is not specifically rated as waterproof. Avoid exposing it to excessive moisture.
What colors are available?
The product is available in multiple colors, as indicated by the 'Multicolor' family attribute.
Troubleshooting
Cable tidy not sticking firmly
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and smooth. Press firmly for an extended period (30-60 seconds). Allow adhesive to cure for several hours before use. For very light cables, consider using a smaller or lighter-duty holder.
Difficulty inserting cables
Check if the cable diameter exceeds the approximate 8mm limit. Try inserting cables one at a time if using a double channel. Ensure there are no obstructions within the channel.
Adhesive left residue upon removal
Gently rub the residue with your finger. For stubborn spots, use a mild adhesive remover or a solution of warm, soapy water, then wipe clean. Test any remover on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the surface where you intend to attach the cable tidy is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Peel off the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip.
- Firmly press the cable tidy onto the desired location for at least 30 seconds to ensure a secure bond.
- Allow the adhesive to set for a few hours before inserting cables for optimal adhesion.
Compatibility:
This cable tidy is designed for cables with a diameter of approximately 8mm or less. It is compatible with most standard USB cables, power cords, audio cables, and network cables. It adheres best to smooth surfaces such as finished wood, laminate, glass, and metal. Avoid applying to painted, wallpapered, or textured surfaces where adhesion may be compromised or removal may cause damage.
Care:
To clean, gently wipe the surface with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the material or the adhesive backing. If you need to reposition the cable tidy, carefully peel it off the surface and consider using a new piece of double-sided tape if the original adhesive has lost its tack.
