Product Description

Cable and Wire Organizer for Less Mess Organize and hide computer cables, television cables and wires. The durable high impact molded resin Wiremate unit protects, conceals, and eliminates wire tangles for up to 12 to 18 electrical wires, computer and tv cables, etc. Made in USA. The Wire Mate shown here is White. Wire Mat is the "no more mess" cable and wire solution for computer work stations, entertainment centers, etc. Wire Mate is Easy To Use and Install: Turn off power supply. Remove the WireMate cover by firmly pressing tips or middle of the two locking tabs at each end, while separating the cover from the base. Affix the double sided peel off tape to the four corners of the base. The tape works very well with all applications, screws are provided only as an option. Position base where wire slack will cause tangling. It can be positioned vertically, horizontally or remain free standing. Run wires through the WireMate integrated posts as the set-up illustration shows. Place cover on the base. Turn on power supply. Frequently Asked Questions: What would be the best place to mount the unit? On a flat surface closest to the tangling of slack wire. In all cases, unit may be mounted on a desk or wall near the surge protector or power source outlet. When should the tape or screws provided be used? The tape will work for all situations and is very easy and quick to do. Surface area should be clean and dry before applying the tape. If many of the wires are thick, using the screws may ensure a more secure positioning of the unit. Should the wires be placed in the unit base before mounting? It is better to first mount the unit base. Once positioned, it is easier to do the wire placement and minimize slack tangling. Is there a preferred wire looping pattern? Yes. Run the wires through the center of posts, only leaving the center to loop in the opposite direction. This will form a figure 8 pattern which will hold the wires more firmly in place.

This review is from: Wiremate Cable Organizer Black (Electronics)

I reluctantly ordered the Wiremate after reading a series of mixed reviews - most of which were very poor. But since there isn't much else on the market - except the Cable Manager which I already own (works great, but all wires are exposed) and the Belkin Concealed Surge Protector (which I own and LOVE, but doesn't have much room for wires), I tried it.

Am I happy with the Wiremate? YES

Since there is basically nothing else out there, the Wiremate will have to do. And it does its job rather well.

No wiree stick out when wrapped correctly.

The cover snaps on easily, but remove the cover carefully to avoid snapping the thin plastic tabs (as other reviewers have done). The tabs could release much easier.

Yes, the plastic is thin, but it is not flimsy. I have a modem, 2 routers, and a portable WD harddrive sitting on top (with the wires inside) and it looks great with no sag.

The wiremate is big! Bigger than I expected. But the look is clean enough that it isn't an eyesore. Plus you can mount it out of sight if desired.

So, all in all, I am very happy with the wiremate. I would give it 5 stars if the plastic tabs weren't so poorly designed. Until something better comes along, this will have to do.

Wiremate Cable Organizer, Black

While this product does help with wire clutter it isn't the absolute solution. It did nicely tidy up the cables between my laptop and second monitor, but it seems to only work well in situations where all your hardware sits very close together. I guess I would have to purchase another one to organize the cables for my routers, modem, and external devices.

This review is from: Wiremate Cable Organizer Black (Electronics)

This product is very average. It is difficult to figure out the right length of cord to wrap so that the cord can reach the outlet and also the computer or other electrical device. By the time I had all my cords in it, the lid wouldn't fit on and some cords are too tight and the organizer won't sit on the floor. It also is not very durable -- it is just made of cheap plastic. It did help with my cord clutter but I think there is probably a better system out there.
