Review on πŸ”— StarTech.com HC102 Self-adhesive Nylon Cable Tie Mounts - Pack of 100 - Cable Organizer for Improved SEO by Juzer Rashid

Fasteners come off with glue

I bought these cable tie fasteners to route some computer cables that run in a metal kiosk as they were the same size and seemed almost identical to the fasteners that my company used had another kiosk that we bought earlier. Well these Startech HC102's are absolutely TERRIBLE for our purposes. We attached six brackets to the inside of our kiosk and after a few hours attached several cables to them. The only mount that didn't fall off during the day was one that we didn't attach any cables to at all. The kiosk was kept at room temperature the whole time and the brackets didn't support much of the weight of the cables. Only a thin/flat computer power cable was attached to one of the brackets. Too bad the glue didn't even work. When the fasteners came loose, each left their square of glue still attached to the metal. The adhesive on each bracket had peeled away from the slightly thinner white foam rubber still attached to each of the plastic brackets that rested on the floor of the kiosk. I found a tiny logo on one of the remaining GOOD mounts we had and it turned out to be made by a company I'm familiar with, Panduit. Even though Panduit cable tie mounts are 6-7 times more expensive than these Startech mounts, I order some now because I need the mounts to actually stay in place for years, not just hours. If you're just attaching a mouse cable to the underside of your desk or something, these HC102s might work, but I wouldn't count on them.

Pros
  • Cable ties
Cons
  • There are new competitors
