Simply hide cables: these cable chains make it possible

We all know tangled cables: either under the desk or lying around in a room. They look untidy, collect dust and, in the worst case, you trip over them. It is therefore very important to hide and organise cables. The flexible cable chains from igus make this possible and keep your office, desk, TV cabinet, sideboard or 3D printer tidy.

In addition to their function as cable protection, they are also unobtrusive and have a nice surface. Another special feature is that the cable chains can either be attached magnetically, screwed or glued in place. igus cable chains on desks are ideal for organised workplaces, be it in the office or at home.

Cable chain on a height-adjustable desk guides cables neatly downward.

How to install a cable chain?

Cable coils can be attached in a few simple steps and without tools. With the flexible mounting brackets, the cable chain can be glued, screwed or attached with magnets in a wide variety of places. The intermediate bracket also allows parts of the cable chain to be attached to metal surfaces with simple magnetic clips. To fix it to the floor, simply attach it to a heavy metal stand using magnetic clips, or to metal surfaces.
