What would be the best
place to mount the unit? |
| |
On a flat surface closest to the
tangling of
excess
wire. In all cases, the unit may be
mounted on a desk or wall near the surge protector or
power source outlet. The WireMate can also be placed flat on a desk, shelf or floor. Devices such as modems and routers can also be neatly stacked on it.

| |
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 most of
the wires are very thick, using the screws may further 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
excess
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. The WireMate
is designed to contain 50% of the wires within the posts,
holding them securely, regardless of how they are looped,
but a figure 8 pattern is recommended.
|
| |
If very thick wires are
present, how should the wire looping occur? |
| |
The unit base is designed to handle
the looping of varying wire thickness. For an extremely
thick wire, loop it to an adjacent column of posts to
allow easier bending of the wire. It should be rarely
necessary to do this.
|
| |
Can the WireMate be
spray painted? |
| |
Yes, a fusion spray paint is
suggested. Check with your local paint dealer for additional paint options. It is recommended to only paint the outer
edge of the base since the inner portion will not be seen once covered. Also, the locking mechanisms on the
cover and base are precision molded to fit snuggly, so use minimal paint in those areas.
The WireMate is available in White, Black and Gray.
