Full details
This guide is for anyone looking to declutter their workspace by organizing cables.

FAQs
How many cables can each unit hold?
Each channel can hold one thick cable (up to 8mm diameter) or several thin cables, depending on their thickness and flexibility.
Can I reposition the cable tidy after applying it?
While the adhesive is designed to be removable, frequent repositioning can weaken its hold. It is best to apply it once to the desired location.
Will the adhesive damage my desk surface?
The adhesive is designed for easy removal. However, results may vary depending on the desk's finish. It's recommended to test on an inconspicuous area if you have concerns about surface finish.
What surfaces can these be attached to?
They adhere best to smooth, clean, and dry surfaces such as wood, laminate, glass, and painted metal.
Is this product suitable for managing power cords?
Yes, it can manage slim power cords. For very thick power bricks or multiple power cords in one channel, it may be too restrictive.
What is the size of the channel opening?
The channel is designed to accommodate cables up to approximately 8mm in diameter.
Troubleshooting
Cable tidy is not sticking firmly.
Ensure the surface is completely clean, dry, and smooth before application. Press firmly for at least 30 seconds. Allow the adhesive to cure for a few hours before adding cables.
Adhesive residue left after removal.
Gently rub the residue with a soft cloth and a small amount of mild soap and water, or use a commercial adhesive remover designed for the surface type. Test removers in an inconspicuous area first.
Cables are too thick for the channel.
This model is designed for cables up to approximately 8mm in diameter. For thicker cables, consider a larger cable management solution or use multiple tidies to separate cables.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the desired surface thoroughly with a dry cloth to remove dust and debris.
- Peel off the protective backing from the adhesive strip.
- Press the cable tidy firmly onto the cleaned surface.
- Allow the adhesive to set for at least 30 minutes before inserting cables.
- Gently guide your cables into the channel(s).
Compatibility:
These cable tidies are compatible with most standard desk surfaces including wood, laminate, glass, and metal. The channel can accommodate cables up to approximately 8mm in diameter. This means it is suitable for most charging cables, USB cables, Ethernet cables, and slim power cords.
Care:
To clean the cable tidy, wipe it with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the material or the adhesive backing. Ensure the area around the adhesive remains dry.
