The Importance Of Securing And Organising Your Cables
Unfortunately in the modern electrical world the cable, more precisely the reams and reams of cables that fill our homes and offices are a necessary evil. It is often the case that the sublimely styled flat panel television is often sullied by the cable mess that sits behind it. Thankfully there are accessories for those who feel the need to rid their homes from the plague of cables. These accessories range from cable ties, to splitter boxes that allow transmission of either data or equipment to other devices. One thing is certain however, as our homes are increasingly filled with cable balls, it is imperative that we have a method of organising and protecting these cables; hopefully the following information will give consumers an idea of the products out there that can perform such a task.
A wire loom is only one of the cable accessories on the market that can help to tidy away unsightly cords. It is a simple item that allows the user to thread their cables through plastic or metal tubing and providing a neat and tidy cable management solution. The wire loom comes in all manner of varieties from a flexible nylon loom through to split wire looming. The result of using such an item means that not only will your home or office space look neater, but will also be safer as the number of trailing wires; causing tripping hazards, will be reduced.
These accessories however do not need to be boring and uninteresting. Increasingly the marketplace is being filled with decorative covers that turn the rather unenviable task of organising wires into a fun and enjoyable experience. With the option to have colourful patterns and funky materials it is possible to have a cable tidy that fits into the decor of the room as well as providing aesthetic pleasure for the owner.
With the cable mass behind your computer or television it is often difficult to know exactly which cable enters which port. Thankfully the market is now filled with ways to identify wires so that you can unplug and move items around without the worry of unplugging the wrong cord and damaging the electrical appliance. This is where colour coordinated cables can be useful in identifying the purpose of the wire whilst acknowledging the importance of its function. For those who are somewhat forgetful it is advisable to make a chart of these colours so that the use of each cord is easily accessible without climbing behind the device.
In terms of cable protection there are certain accessories on the market that can secure wires whilst also colour coding them. The process involves wrapping the wire in a film and then heating this film so that it bonds to the cable. In most cases this is a simple enough task to perform although care must be taken whenever applying heat to wires. The results of this process however are a wire that is protected by an additional layer effectively acting as a second skin. In terms of safety however it is important that anyone applying heat shrink tubing should unplug the wire beforehand. The materials used for heat shrinking wire accessories vary greatly although one of the most widely used is Teflon. Teflon is renowned for its properties of durability and strength and subsequently is perfect for coating especially important wires.
Hopefully this article has given some idea of the accessories out there that will help people organise and protect their cables. While we remain in the 'cabled world' it is necessary for these items to be used to ensure our office space and homes are kept neat and tidy as well as safe and secure.
