Cable Drop – featuring Fourie Du Preez

The Multi-Purpose Cable Clips are number two in our trifecta of cable management gadgets (hair dryer, Black Berry Charger and fax machines all taken into account) to help you keep things trim and tidy where it matters … behind your home entertainment system, and in the office – to avoid any eye-soar scenario behind your computer screen.

• Peel and stick -  good
• Sticks to desk, wall, desktop, forehead and monitor – nice
• Diameter is that of a R5 coin – even the Nelson Mandela collectors edition
• If left for too long, might mark the surface it is stuck too – not ideal, but understandable
• Not suitable for normal power cable width – see Number 3 in the series for solution

 

Again, just as with the Mark Brothers, we are impressed by something small. It’s small, it’s versatile and it gets the job done. Basically the Fourie Du Preez of the cabling and wire management world, just with no risk of injury, nor a lame book to not really look forward to in about a years time. A book divulging juicy Springbok Rugby scandals, delving deeply into how Janie and Bismark wrestle over the last of the mashed potatoes; and how Breyton Paulse managed to lie about his weight being over 75kg for so many years.

It’s all about team work with the little Cable Drops though. I use plural because the more you use, the more likely you will succeed it not driving yourself mental when it comes to getting your wires in an incurable mess.

Just think earphone cables here for a second As with the common cold, there is no known cure for the sneaky earphone cables finding ways to confound our clumsy fingers in their matrix of entanglement. Cable Drops restore some kind of order while at your desk. Once on the move again, you’re on your own.

 

The conclusion for the Cable Drops, a perfect, well designed accessory, to help add some form of order to your work station. It’s not up to the task for the larger power cables. You might need some more heavy duty help here – see option 3, or a really clever trick from the Mark Brothers.
