BLUSB-WH Soba Cable Director, White

Great fit for my cables, easy to use and looks great once complete !!!!!! Will purchase more immediately

I used these at work to unify the cable clutter and while the zip/unzip isn't necessarily as perfectly smooth as the videos demonstrate, I also don't expect magic. Glad I bought em, would buy em again if I needed to.

A decent product probably correctly rated on aggregate at 3.5. Harder to deploy than the videos show. Requires up front design work. The Ribbon won't accommodate more than two (2) "thick" cables such as cat-5 or coax or many power chords. The "bundled" group of piece-parts sold in this single package probably won't precisely accommodate most configurations. It would be better if BlueLounge sold piece-parts a la carte so users could buy more and less of what they need. For me, the Y-pieces and the fasteners werent particularly useful. The ribbon cable is very useful, and it would be nice if BlueLounge sold rolls of that alone. Even if you buy this product, you will need fasteners and other elements to complete your design.

This was difficult to install because of how narrow the casing was. I wanted to bundle 5 power cords but instead I could only fit 3 of the cords in at once. Once I managed to get those in, the end caps were too narrow to fully snap on, so I ended up using white electrical tape to secure the ends. Because I only needed about half of the casing for the first 3 cords, I then cut it and used the rest for the other 2 cords. The casing frayed like crazy when I cut it, so I had to put extra tape on the end of that too. I feel like this product needs wider casing, wider end caps, and a few more end caps and y-splitters included in the package. Really the only useful thing in this kit is the "zipper" attachment that helps you install the casing.

While the materials this is all made out of are good. There are a couple problems with the whole package. When it comes to the "Zipper" part of the package, that is supposed to open up the sleeve in order to lay down any cables, it just doesn't cut it despite how good of an idea it may seem to be. Even though I looked over the little instructions several times, the sleeve kept bundling up inside of the zipper part. When using the Zipper, it didn't always put one flap of the sleeve over the other, it ended up alternating, which just created a non-uniform seam in the sleeve that isn't there when you just open the box, and the seam isn't needed to be there. I ended up having to give up halfway through the cables that I was putting inside the sleeve, and just opening up the sleeve by hand to lay down the wires. I think if the zipper part is refined, it can work just fine, but as is, it doesn't seem to work properly. The wall/desk mounting directing parts are good if you just plan on putting a couple of small/thin USB cables inside the sleeve, but doesn't hold up if you put in any thicker/heavier cables. While the actual 3M sticky portion of the mounting parts holds on very well, trying to mount the sleeve to the bottom of my desk with pretty generic monitor and power cables inside, the caps on the mounting parts don't hold on to the base well enough. They will hold on for a couple of hours, and then disconnect, allowing for the sleeve to awkwardly hang with the tension of the wires inside beneath my desk. I will likely need to run heavy duty tape, or something else, to reinforce these parts to allow them to hold the sleeve properly to the bottom of my desk. If there was an actual way to securely lock the mounting parts, that could help immensely, rather than hoping that the top and bottom pieces fit together well enough that the friction keeps them together.

I went HAM on my office with three set of these, and it’s so much better now. It’s not the cheapest cable sleeve, but I think it’s very much worth it. I bundled the cables from my KVM to each computer, so that’s two HDMI cables and a USB cable that’s about the same thickness. The three of them just barely fit in it. I had to frequently massage it as I zipped the cables in to keep one from peeking out. And as far as the plastic finishing pieces that you can use to cap off the sleeve nicely, they weren’t even close to fitting. But for other bundles with fewer or smaller cables, it worked quite well, including the plastic caps for the ends, which really give it a nice finished look. If you hate cable clutter, these are great.

I read the reviews about not being easy to set up. I though: “How difficult can it be threading cables through a tube?9 Well, let me tell you VERY DIFFICULT! First, it is very hard to thread the fabric through the ring that’s supposed to act as a zipper. The tube is so tightly coiled so as you thread the cables is very difficult to close. Parts of the cables do come out and you have to push them back again. I lost track of time how long it took me to set up. Suffice to say that hubby came home and we had to order pizza. I can’t imagine having to do the whole thing over again when one of the phone cables have to be replaced. When that happens, I’ll be throwing it in the garbage. Edit: Two days after setting it up I took the cables out and threw the whole thing in the garbage. It’s not good for hiding phone cables because it is too rigid and it is hard to maneuver the cables.

I got tired of cables strewn out all over my work area. The cable ties I had used in the past just didn't do an adequate job. Plus I wanted a simple solution that didn't cost lots of money. I went into several stores to actually look at some options and guess what none of the stores carries any type of cable management systems any more? So I looked through the Amazon options and found this one by Bluelounge (great name) and decided to give it a try. What I found was a real system that can make the cable mess quickly go away and you end up with a nice, neat work area. The best part, I still had lots of the cable cover left over so as things change (they always do) I can keep the cables under control!

Sólo encuentro un contra, la sección del SOBA BlueLounge es demasiado pequeña con lo que difícilmente pasas 2-3 cables por su interior. Teniendo en cuenta que tengo como 10 cables para ordenar. Soba sólo me permite reducir a 1/3 el número de 'mangueras' visibles. Si se tiene menos cableado para ordenar es ideal.Para casos como el mío recomiendo otro tipo de soluciones como la que ofrecen en AGPTEK.com de neopreno. Con ésta he podido reducor a una sola manguera, aunque por supuesto el acabado tampoco es luxurious que digamos.

Utile e bello, facile da applicare

Wer kennt nicht das problem mit dem Kabeln, die Kabelführung ist einfach gelöst und ich möchte es nicht mehr missen, unter dem Tisch sieht es wieder ordentlich aus.

the product is working and the cable is long enough, take care about the thickness of the cables that you want to organize because is not so large...

Does a great job organising a few cables into a single wrapped tube - the caps and splitter give the end result a polished look. The attachments also have a sticky pad on the back which can help with routing the cables, in my case I stuck it to a wall to help direct the tube between two units. Like other reviews mention the tube is narrow (1cm or so diameter when zipped) so cannot fit many cables and will not be suitable for all needs. It's also expensive compared to a simple cable wrap, but the final result looks really great so for me was worth it.
