Review on VELCRO Brand Cables Wires Cords by Patrick Matin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great cable wraps in all the colors of the rainbow, but where's the purple?

Functionally, these cable boxes are great. They are on the 8" long side, making them much more useful than standard 6" cable ties. They are thick and strong and can withstand large bundles of cables. The velcro stays in place as you would expect from the original velcro brand. Colors make it easier to trace and identify cables according to their function. Curious though; Instead of including all six colors of the rainbow, 3M chose to include only 5 and eliminate purple. It's not that I have a liking for purple, it just seems pretty random, especially given the current popularity of shades of purple. In addition to selling packs of five, 3M sells packs of 60 to 12 sets in all five colors. You should consider selling 6-packs that contain all six primary and secondary colors, and 60-packs that contain ten sets of all six colors. Maybe it's silly, but the lack of purple seems a bit strange.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
