FAQs

What is the maximum cable diameter these clips can hold?

These clips are designed for cables with a maximum diameter of 8mm.

Can these clips be used outdoors?

Yes, they are suitable for most indoor or outdoor DIY jobs due to their tough, shock-resistant body.

How are the clips attached to a surface?

Each clip comes with a pre-attached high-impact nail, which you hammer into the desired surface.

What material are the clips made of?

The clips are made from tough polyethylene (PE), known for its elasticity and shock-resisting properties.

How many clips are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 pieces of 8mm round cable clips.

Are these suitable for electrical mains cables?

They are suitable for securing cables, including mains cables, provided they are the correct 8mm diameter. Ensure proper installation to avoid damaging the cable insulation.

What is the weight of the pack?

The pack of 100 clips weighs approximately 90 grams.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not hold cable securely

Ensure the cable diameter is within the 8mm specification. The surface may be too smooth; consider using a clip designed for that specific surface type or roughening the area slightly.

Nail bends or breaks during installation

Ensure you are not attempting to hammer into extremely hard materials without pre-drilling a pilot hole. Use a standard hammer and strike the nail head directly and firmly.

Clip breaks under stress

The clip may be overloaded or exposed to excessive force. Ensure the cable is not being pulled taut against the clip. Consider using a stronger clip or alternative cable management solution for high-tension applications.

Color does not match desired aesthetic

These clips are black. For different color requirements, search for cable clips available in alternative colors.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Cost-effective solution with a pack of 100 clips.
  • Durable construction ensures longevity.
  • Easy and quick installation with pre-attached nails.
  • Suitable for various environments, including outdoor use.
  • Securely holds 8mm cables, minimizing movement.

Cons

  • May not be suitable for extremely heavy-duty or industrial applications.
  • Color is fixed to black, which may not suit all aesthetic preferences.
  • Nail length is standard and may require consideration for very thick mounting surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select Location: Identify where the cable needs to be secured.
  2. Position Clip: Place the 8mm round cable clip over the cable.
  3. Align Nail: Position the integrated nail against the mounting surface (wood, plasterboard, etc.).
  4. Fasten: Gently tap the head of the nail with a hammer until the clip is firmly attached to the surface. Ensure the cable is held snugly but not crushed.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Size: Primarily designed for 8mm diameter round cables. Using cables significantly larger or smaller may compromise holding strength.
  • Surface Material: Best suited for wood, plasterboard, and similar soft to medium-density materials. May require pilot holes or alternative fixing methods for harder surfaces like brick or concrete.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Inspection: Periodically check clips for signs of damage or loosening, especially in high-traffic areas or exposed outdoor locations.
