How-To Hack: Tidying Cables with VELCRO® Brand's ONE-WRAP® Genius

Introduction 


A jungle of cables generally surrounds us. Whether charging cords, HDMI cables, or ethernet wires, they multiply and tangle effortlessly. But fear not! With the help of VELCRO® Brand's ONE-WRAP®, we can bring order to this chaos and tame the cable beast. In this guide, we'll explore the genius of ONE-WRAP® and how to use it to tidy up your cables effectively. 


Understanding ONE-WRAP® 


VELCRO® Brand's ONE-WRAP® is a revolutionary hook-and-loop fastening solution that simplifies cable management. Unlike traditional cable ties or zip ties that are single-use and can damage cables when cinched too tightly, ONE-WRAP® offers a reusable and adjustable alternative. It has two parts: a soft loop side and a grippy hook side, allowing easy and secure fastening. 


Assess Your Cable Situation 


Begin by taking stock of the cables you need to organise. Identify which cables are frequently used and need to remain easily accessible and which can be tucked away. 


Gather Your Supplies 


If desired, gather your cables, ONE-WRAP® strips, and any additional accessories, such as cable clips or mounts. Ensure you have enough ONE-WRAP® to accommodate all your cables. 


Untangle and Straighten Cables 


Before applying ONE-WRAP®, untangle and straighten your cables as much as possible. This will make the organisation process smoother and ensure a neater result. 


Wrap and Secure 


Cut a suitable length of ONE-WRAP® to wrap around the cables you wish to tidy. Lay the loop side of the ONE-WRAP® flat on a surface, then place the wires on top. Wrap the ONE-WRAP® around the cables, ensuring a snug fit without being too tight. Press the hook side of the ONE-WRAP® onto the loop side to secure it in place. Repeat this process for each group of cables. 


Customise and Label (Optional) 


Consider labelling your cables using cable tags or adhesive labels for added organisation. This can be especially helpful for distinguishing between similar-looking cables or identifying specific devices. 


Mount or Arrange Cables 


Depending on your preference and space constraints, you can mount the organised cables using cable clips or adhesive mounts or arrange them neatly behind furniture or along baseboards. 


Enjoy Your Tidy Space 


Step back and admire your handiwork! With VELCRO® Brand's ONE-WRAP®, you've successfully conquered the cable chaos and transformed it into a tidy and organised space.
