Creating an Ethernet network to support wireless or even NBN connections is not expensive. However, it might require lots of wires depending on the connection and the number of network sockets in the house or office from the central distribution point. In the case of a new home or a major refurbishment to upgrade to the latest NBN connection offered by award-winning SpinTel and other providers, the wires involved might be many.
While some wires can pass in a pipe inside the walls, some can run on the wall and floor. Therefore, cable management is vital to have a strong and continuous internet connection. In the case of an office setting, it is important to avoid cable-related liabilities by deploying solid cable management strategies.
While cord covers offer twofold protection, cable clips are also important. Cable clips prevent cables from hanging and sagging around, thus preventing tripping accidents. The clips also prevent the cables from being disconnected from joints on being pulled out, thus leading to loose connection and loss of NBN connections in some cases.
Cable clips have become increasingly indispensable in the digital world where every device has to be connected to high-speed internet, such as the one offered by SpinTel, and power. In the average household, you will not only find cables running from a device to a power source but also between central distribution points of the internet. In working environments, cables are smacked behind computers, telephones, printer stations, and other electronic devices to connect to the internet.
Cables must always be kept in an organized way to avoid network disruptions and obstructions. The best way to keep lengthy and numerous cables in order is with the help of a cable clip.
A cable clip is a device designed to manage wires and cables and secure them to a fixed point, be it the wall, ceiling, or floor. There is a wide range of cable clips designed to manage all sizes and shapes of cables for home and industrial settings.
For instance, hook cable clips secure runs of round cables like coax to walls. They come with a hook which could be a steel nail that ensures a cable is held firmly on the wall floor or ceiling on hammering. So with the help of a hammer, you can easily secure the cable with hook cable clips. Additionally, cable clips come in different colors, adding a touch to the cable management process. For instance, there are black cable clips of the hook cable clips, and others are white in color.
The opposite of round cable clips is flat cable clips that are flat in shape whenever they mount cables on the wall or any other surface. Both are ideal clips for walls and can be used to install fiber optics or wires for supporting SpinTel NBN connections.
Flat cable clips offer a secure and neat option for holding the ribbon and flat wires. They are commonly used in Ethernet cables that convey internet connections beamed by the likes of SpinTel.
Round cable clips are round in shape and designed to keep cables tidy and out of the way. They are ideal for protecting cables from damage and avert trip hazards. On the other hand, adhesive cable clips feature a rubberized semi-circle construction that tucks cables under with a flat base. They also come with a sticky adhesive that attaches strongly to dry walls and glass.
Adhesive clips also stand out partly because they do not require nailing or pinning in place. Instead, simply pilling off a layer of the back can reveal a strong sticky surface that makes it easy to fix the clip to the chosen surface in seconds.
Cable clips have two main important components. The first is the component used to gather and secure the cables. The second component is one that holds the entire cable clip against a fixed spot such as a wall or a floor.
While some cable clips feature the two mechanisms separately, others combine them, thus providing better utility, among other advantages. The round cable clip is popular as it features all the components. The hole that forms the round shape holds the cables in place. The other hand comes with a nail that is used to secure the cables on the walls or other surfaces.
In cases where surfaces or walls should not be damaged by hammering a nail, adhesive cable clips are used to attach the cables to the walls. The adhesive part of the cable clip is what is used to hold the clips firmly on the wall.
Cable clips come in different sizes and colors. Therefore, the clips one ends up using will depend largely on the thickness of the wire tubing or conduit. It is also essential to consider the working environment in which the cables will run to determine the type, size, and color.
In addition, if you intend to add more cables in the future in the wiring setup, one might consider going for cable clips of a much bigger size. Large cable clips are a requirement when dealing with heavier runs of tubing or conduit. Nevertheless, the common sizes of cable clips are 4mm, 6mm, 10mm, 16mm, and 25mm.
Yes, you can use plastic cable clips to mount and secure cables as they offer the most cost-effective way of managing Ethernet lines. However, when dealing with many cables, they might not be the most reliable way of securing the cables, say to the wall or even the floor.
Plastic cable clips should always be supported adequately using metal supports to ensure the cables are held firmly where they should be without the risk of sagging. Metal supports are ideal when wiring a building as they offer added support, especially in entry and exit routes where firmness is of utmost importance.
Cable clips are a handy tool for securing longer runs of cables and wires to walls. They find great use in holding Ethernet cables to walls and floors, thus preventing tripping and ensuring a perfect connection between routers, modems, and other devices. In addition, cables perfectly mounted with cables are sure to beam SpinTel congestion-free internet without the risk of dropouts due to lost connections.
