Review on ๐Ÿ”— StarTech.com HC102 Self-adhesive Nylon Cable Tie Mounts - Pack of 100 - Cable Organizer for Improved SEO by Mark Howard

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very helpful little guys

This is a MUST for organizing cables. Buy this and a pack of 500 cable ties and you can attach almost anything to anything as long as the first is a small cable and the second is a clean, flat surface. In the aircraft industry we use a similar product except it contains a much stronger epoxy and each comes with a fixture to hold it to the surface and hold the pressure until the epoxy dries. They are held together with epoxy rated for 4700 psi shear strength and I can hang it. However, they cost between $1 and $3 each. These Startech mounts can't compete with aircraft-certified mounts, but they are much cheaper. In the non-aviation world, that's pretty good. They're quite strong in shear, but the bond is pretty weak when you pull in the direction perpendicular to the surface they're mounted on, so you need to make sure you install them where the only stress on them is a side load. A small permanent weight coming off the surface, maybe 5-10 pounds, will separate the mount after a few hours.

Pros
  • Electronics
