5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for hiding cables and wires
Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2016
These were bought to hide my surround sound speaker wires across the living room. I purchased one kit before measuring the length in which I needed so of course I ended up being short. This Kit Includes: 4 - 30" CordMate II Cord Channels, 3 - C59 Couplings, 2 - C56 Flat Elbows, 1 - C57 Inside Elbow, 1 - C58 Outside Elbow, 1- C51 T-Fitting. This means you have 120" of cord cover. I used a saw to cut these to certain lengths and the plastic held up very well. It didn't split, break, bust or fray the ends to make it look unprofessional. With the addition to the couplings, elbows and fittings you can run these very professional looking with no cords poking or hanging out making your living room or other place areas of the house you have cords look like crap. This is a very nice alternative to tacks or coax cable clamps you nail to the wall. It's a more expensive alternative but the look you get with these really pays off because it reduces clutter.
There seems to be plenty of room inside the cord channels and I was able to place two separate 18 gauge speaker wire into this without any issues. What many other comments fail to mention is the fact that these can be unsnapped from the side to allow you to add or remove cords more easily without having to run them from end to end. This was a nice bonus as I had already run the cords and had them hooked up prior to receiving these.
They came white but are easily paintable to match any room / color you have and makes this is a nice addition to have with these. I will note that prior to applying the sticky side to the wall I use alcohol to wipe down the entire area I would be placing these to clear up any dirt or debris. This tends to be an issue when sticking anything to the wall and you should follow this step to ensure that it lasts for awhile. These can be used not only for speaker wire but ethernet cable, HDMI cable, coax cable, power cables and anything else you can slide into this. I would like to add that these do have limited space inside so you may not want to use these for every cord behind your TV / TV stand or computer desk. Once you do decide a place to use this and stick to a surface it adhesives very quickly and you only have a few seconds to decide if that's where you'd like it or not. I'd go ahead of time and make specific spots you want to place these to avoid any crooked placings.
All in all a very nice product and so far so good!
