This cable management system is pretty good, especially if you only need to bind a series of similar length cables (for example a bundle of cables running from a TV to an AV receiver). It's easy to install using the provided tool. I thought it wouldn't work for binding up multiple power cables because their heads were too large to fit through the adapter tool, but then I realized that it splits open down the middle so you you can easily start at any location on the cables. One thing to keep in mind is that if you are running multiple cables that are going different distances, the best way to do this is to just run the cables the entire length and then when you are done pull out the cable(s) that need to go shorter distances. I found it relatively easy to bind up several runs of cables from my AV-receiver to my speakers and television. Now I don't have an octopus of wires under my AV rack which makes me happy and my wife happy too.

This product was exactly what I wanted. It did an excellent job hiding the cable, dvr, etc wires. The color wasn't exactly white, however, it is a great product and very easy to use.

My wife's office was a mess of wires - laptop, monitor, laser printer, plotter, networking, router, phone - sooooo many cables. I had to disconnect everything to get it organized, but once I laid out the cords, the cable-it system was easy to install. It has a neet little device to thread the cords in the cable-it wrapper.

I highly recommend, but plan 30-60 minutes to plan out your cable setup.

I looked in the description for how many cords this would hold and couldn't find it so I bought a Medium. It is 1.2 inches in diameter and the box says it will hold 5-8 cables, which is about right. We used it for four TV cords, a dvd player, antenna box, and clock (seven cords total). We were even able to double back a few of them to keep the total length shorter. It's not the loveliest looking thing, but it's better than a cord octopus. It was easy to use--the zipper handle is smart. Watch the video in the pictures for installation details.

This is not what you need if you are running cords up a wall, across a floor, or behind molding, however. It is designed for loose cables that are running from an electronic device to an outlet (behind a desk or entertainment center, for example). The directions also recommend using separate ones for AV cables and power cords, for what it's worth.

The cable was very easy to install, and I love the feature that lets you pull cords out at different angles.I am planning buying more in different sizes

I originally purchased this product a couple of years ago. The initial Monster CIT cable management product was flexible, and extremely durable. An unbelievable product. With the newer version of this product, they have compromised its durability and strength with considerably thinner plastic. Mind you, it is still the same price. It twists on itself. The cables come out of it because it is too weak. Way to ruin a great product being greedy Monster Cable. Monster CIT MBK-50 Medium Diameter Black Cable-It Wire Management System (50 feet)

This item is not white at all but some kind of cream color. Does not look like the pictured white. Very disappointed in the mislabeling.

I could see how these would be good for a VERY SIMPLE setup requiring maybe 8ft or less of cable management, but for something that is anywhere near what a modern media center setup is (with several peripherals that each have their own power brick) it is extremely cumbersome and frustrating to manage the wires with this setup. The handle zipper thing is also pretty cheap and broke apart several times. It does not stay shut during threading of 5 or more cables.

Also, the claim of easily inserting a cable without the zipper at any point in the line is not true.

I was really happy with this product and buying it on Amazon is less than 1/2 what the local Best Buy was charging (not including tax!).

The little "tool" they include is cute, but not necessary, I gave up trying to figure it out and just used my hands. I had a complete 7.1 surround system with multiple speaker, HDMI and power cords to deal with. Took me all of about 7 minutes to do it by hand. My advice is to toss the tool and just go for it.

The only real negative is that the "white" version is actually navajo white, so be prepared. It looks easily paintable however if you need to do that.

This zipper and hose style cable management system works pretty well. The zipper tool seems to fall apart sometimes and doesn't stay together well when zipping the cables up. All in all, works good if all of your cables are the same length. If you have several different lengths, setting it all up can be kind of a pain.
