Cable Comb for Cable Management
At CableSupply.com we only offer the best and most essential tools on
the market for network cabling. Dressing cable can be frustrating and
time consuming but The Cable Comb can organize and dress your cables
keeping them straight without any hassle. The Cable Comb is ideal for
organizing computer and network cables.
The Cable Comb has 15 cable slots which can hold multiple cables,
accommodating up to 24 to 30 cables regardless of the Ethernet cable
lengths. It can hold a wide variety of cables, including most Cat5E,
Cat6, Cat6A, Cat7, coaxial, and control cable in sizes of 1/4 inch or
smaller. The Cable Comb's slick, nylon surface will provides a smooth
pull without snagging, stretching, or stripping any of your cables.
Separating from The Cable Comb's blue center ring, the yellow slotted
hub is easy to maneuver. Simply push your cables into the slots of the
center hub, thread the yellow ring around the cable bundle, and then
slide the ring back into place around the blue hub. The yellow ring only
pulls off in one direction; if you pull in the other direction the
entire unit stays together, holding your cable in place and
straightening it all out into a neat bundle.
As you work down the length you can wrap your cable bundle with
Velcro or use CableSupply.com cable ties. If you need to route a few
cables elsewhere, just pull the outer ring off, remove your diverting
cables, and then replace the ring to finish straightening the load.
Instructions:
- Arrange your cables for bundling.
- Remove the blue hub from the yellow outer collar of the Cable Comb.
Hold the blue hub perpendicular to your cables - make sure the rounded
finger pull of the pie-shaped protrusion is facing away from the
direction you'll be pulling in.
- Load the individual cables into the various slots of the blue hub on
the Cable Comb. (How many cables each slot can hold depends on the type
of cable being combed.) Do not overload a slot with cables. Cables in
each slot must remain loose after you re-attach the outer collar.
- Once the cables are loaded in the blue hub of the Cable Comb, slip the yellow collar over the cables behind the blue hub.
- Rotate the collar to align the pie-shaped protrusion of the hub to
the opening on the collar. Slide the collar onto the hub. (If the fit is
too tight, it means one or more of your slots is overloaded. Remove the
collar, redistribute your cables in the hub, then put the collar back
on and test the fit again.)
- Begin sliding the assembled Cable Comb (hub + collar) down the
length of your cables. The cables emerge from the comb in a smooth,
organized bundle.
- Wrap the combed bundle with Velcro, tie wrap, or equivalent cable
lash every 2 to 3 feet as desired to keep the cables organized and
together. Continue the combing process to provide bundle lengths as
required for the installation.
- If necessary, disengage the yellow collar from the blue hub to
unload individual cables that need to be terminated or directed
elsewhere. Slip the yellow collar back onto the blue hub to continue
combing.
- To remove the Cable Comb, slide the yellow collar backwards, off the
blue hub, and remove it from your cable bundle. Unload remaining cables
from the blue hub. If the cables aren't terminated, the Cable Comb may
also be slid completely off the end of the remaining cables to remove
the tool as a mated assembly.
- Keep the inner blue hub mated with the yellow outer collar during
storage to protect the slots and face of the tool from potential damage.
