This product worked great for cleaning up my mess of cables/power cords going to my wall mounted TV. The plastic is sturdy, yet easily cut to proper length, I did however, use a "T" type of expandable wall anchor because I was attaching it to exterior stucco wall. The channels are large enough to accommodate numerous cords, and the covers snap firmly in place. Now we will see how it holds up to 120 degree summertime heat!
The product is exactly what I was looking for. However, they definitely don't slide. You have to peel them apart, and snap them back together. Which is no small feet. I used the included adhesive, so I didn't have to put more holes in the wall. I could not get more than two solid cords in one chase way, otherwise they wouldn't snap back together. I had to use two separate ones in the living room. Snapping them back together was the biggest pain! Overall, they're alright. They work for the intended purpose, but installation and the size of the opening to only accommodate two cords, drops the star for me. Not sure I'd buy them again. I used 5 of the 6 chase ways, in four different rooms.
These things are awesome if you're like me and can't stand the site of cords hanging from your TV. We recently hung our tv on the wall
( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000WYVBR0/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ) with that wall mount from Amazon of course (which is awesome) and quickly realized we needed SOMETHING to hide the hanging cords. Bought this baby and she did the trick! Took about 20 minutes, only because I had to gather a measuring tape, level and then figure out how I wanted the wires to go, but was pretty straight forward. Didn't have a hacksaw to cut for measuring, but good kitchen shears worked just fine. I fit SO many cords into one of these pieces (cable cord, TV power cord, fire stick cord, surround sound cord, AND audio optical cord). I didn't bring the cords and cover all the way down to the trim, because the cords weren't long enough to reach all the day and then swing part of the way back up to where our electrical outlet is--so in one photo you can see where the cords come out of the channel (picture 2). With a little movement of furniture and moving some decor, they're all hidden. And I only used one single piece plus a small piece of another, out of the entire package. #winning. Hoping to throw some paint over the plastic channels to really blend with the wall--no rush on that. Amazon, once again, has literally every product I've ever needed. I'm a sucker for a good before and after, so eat your heart out (then go cover those ugly TV cords).
Cable Concealer On-Wall Cord Cover Raceway Kit - Cable Management System to Hide Cables, Cords, or Wires - Cord Organizer for TVs and Computers at Home or in The Office We really needed to tidy up our wall-mounted television cabling and this kit worked quite well.
General comments:
* We were able to put a large number of cables through the channel: 2 HDMI, 1 Ethernet, 1 pair of RCA AV cables (Red+White), and a Coaxial cable
* It helped me to locate studs on the wall to use them as anchor points, rather than the double-stick tape.
* I found it much easier to slide the cover panels onto the channels, rather than try to snap them on (or off)
* I found it very important to try out the cables in the channels with the covers (slid) on to ensure things fit.
* At first, we had a 3-wire component connection cable set that did not fit. I chose to separate the cable into 3 parts, and keep only the Left and Right audio that we wanted, and had to remove a couple of big rubber bumps from the cable also.
* I also had to arrange for my HDMI cable lengths to be long enough so that I could keep the cable ends outside the channel, and did not need to put any extenders in the channel.
My installation experience:
* My installation is a wall-mounted TV over a fireplace mantle, with some cables going to the right of the fireplace and other cables going to the left.
* I used a "T" under the TV and fed both left and right sides from there.
* I planned the overall route, and identified the studs I was going to use along the way, and measuring lengths to be sure things were centered and balanced.
* It was not necessary for every section to have a stud or screw in it. for some ones that did not have a stud, I used double-sided Velcro tape instead of the the included double-sided tape, on the assumption that I was going to need to remove this at some point to adjust the wiring or add new wires. * The key point here is that removing or adding the covers seemed difficult unless you slide them out the end. That being the case, it helped have the ability to unscrew the main section to freely move things around. This would not be the case if they were anchored with double-sided tape. If you use the double-sided tape, make sure you get it right the first time.)
* I installed things in sections starting from the TV and working way away from it.
* At each step, I would cut the length I needed, check out the cabling for fit with the cover on; then I remove the cover to drill and screw in the channel. Once that was done, I would slide the cover on from the end and go to the next section.
The whole thing took maybe an hour since I was figuring out a lot of things by trial-and-error.
Now that I think about it, a You-Tube video of installation options might really help others. It may even be out there, but I didn't look at the time.
We are very satisfied with the look of the system, even without any painting to match our off-white wall color.
I used it to add some cable management features to my desk that had none. It was nice to have a choice of connectors even if for my specific use I used only one. Used heavy duty velcro to fasten to the desk instead of drilling holes. The sections are really easy to cut with a hack saw and I could cream a good number of cables in each one.

Very simple and easy to install. Turned out great. I opted to use the adhesive strips rather than the drywall screws, which worked great. To install, you should probably have a level, tape measure, pencil and a miter saw handy (you may need to cut some of the lengths down).
The look great and it was amazing just how many cables fit into these cord covers. The only part that was difficult at first was removing one side of the cover. The smaller side required a very good grip and pull to pop off, I discovered that if I used a handle with a plastic coating that could be inserted into one end about 3 inches would make the removal of the cover much easier. As you remove the cover is will curve slightly but putting a little pressure the other way straightens it out perfectly. I would certainly buy these again.
I used these to install my projector in the middle of my living room ceiling. All those connector pieces were wonderful as I had to put it around several corners. I had to put three cables in it which is kind of tight but worked out pretty well. The covers do not slide that easily so it took me a little while to disassemble before installation and once you have it installed it's tricky to get it off again. But it looks great and I was able to screw it on which was essential for me on my popcorn ceiling. So it's perfect for my needs but it takes a little to set it up which might turn out to be frustrating for some people.
We own a 110 year old house which means not all the outlets are where one would necessarily want them to be. And sometimes trying to update the house creates more projects and hassles than we want. This product was PERFECT in the situation where we had an outlet on one wall and needed power to another and didn't want to open walls and move lines. This was easy to install although sliding the top of the cover is harder than they make it seem, once we realized if you push hard enough it will snap on we had more luck. The trail went down to the baseboard, around a door and then along another baseboard.
My handy father came after the project was done and asked how we got power to the wall (seeing a few electrical things operating). I showed him the cover and he was surprised that he didn't even notice it, even though he knew there was no outlet there. So it blends in really well and has a clean professional look.
I thought these concealers worked well. I liked that the kit included a variety of angled pieces, unfortunately I was coming off the ceiling and wanted to turn left onto the wall but none of the pieces worked for "hugging" the ceiling on a horizontal run. I had to use an angled piece and that made my horizontal run about 2" from the ceiling but other wise a great product. The glue strips work fabulously, it was easy to cut and it painted well. I'll definitely be using this again for my wall mounted TV and probably other wires as well.
