Cabling Management With Cable Raceways And Cable Ties

For people who have home theatre systems, or surround sound components at home very usual problems are unpleasant looking cables and wires that ruin the image of your equipments. That is why upon installing these appliances cabling management is very necessary. Luckily speaking there are now lots of different ways on how you would organize those wiring and cabling.

With minimal effort used and less hassle on organizing, you can easily hide cables and wires by keeping them under the carpet; stick them on walls, run on the ceilings, and you can use different cabling management products like the cable raceways, cable ties or more likely known as zip ties that helps on keeping the cables and wires bundled together and keep them in order which makes them easier to hide and cover.

Let us define what the different uses of these cabling management products are and how to use them properly:

The cable ties more likely known as zip ties that are made from heavy duty plastic and sometimes metal or aluminium. These ties are used to bundle cables together to keep them organized. Available on different sizes, colors, lengths, and are found on local hardware stores and online retails stores where you can find assorted ties which you can choose from for your demands and comes on cheap price also. Better if you ask the sales agent or customer support before buying to ensure the product to be bought. Just make sure before strapping your cables with zip ties they are correctly placed or properly grouped together because once you locked them with zip ties you will have a problem on unlocking them again unless you cut the tie off or you can choose the slightly pricier Velcro-tie that is recyclable and easily adjusted to fit your need.

There are also those cable raceways that are manageable because of their flexibility and easily painted or covered so it would not mess up your decor at home. These are used to hide cables and wires to keep them away from sight from the guests. Placed under the carpet, rags, stick to walls and covered with paint or wall paper and run on the ceiling of needed. These prevent the drilling and punching of walls just to hide the cables and at some places these walls destroying method are not even possible.

These products are not only used at home, can be used also anywhere that needs cable routing and wiring management like office areas, conference rooms, outdoor concerts, etc.
