1M Silicone Cable Trunking Cable Tidy for Wires 📺
Description:
This silicone channel keeps a single cable neat along walls and behind screens, making it a discreet cable tidy hider for wall mount TV setups while also working well under desks and around entertainment centres. It offers a simple snap-on design that conceals an HDMI, Ethernet or power adaptor lead and helps reduce trip hazards and chewing by pets.
Key Points
The trunking is made from flexible silicone, which the manufacturer describes as flame retardant and water resistant, giving a soft finish that sits flush against paint or plaster. Installation is tool-free. Measure and cut the channel to length, peel the self-adhesive backing and press the unit to the wall, then lay the cable into the groove and snap the cover closed. This makes it a low-effort way to tidy a single wire with diameter under 7 mm, or two very thin cables such as USB leads. 🧰
Because the profile is unobtrusive and paintable with water-based paints, it can be customised to blend with pale or white interiors. It is particularly useful where drilling is not desired, for rented properties and temporary AV setups. Do note that very thick or multiple bundled cables will not fit comfortably, so consider a wider raceway if you plan to conceal several large leads.

Usage Recommendations
For a neat finish, mark the route before sticking the trunking and ensure the surface is clean and dry. Cut the channel with a fine-toothed saw or sharp cutter for a straight edge, then apply light pressure along the adhesive strip when mounting to improve hold. Paint with a water-based emulsion if you need to match wall colour, and allow paint to dry fully before reinserting the cable to avoid sticking paint to the closure. 🎨
Place the trunking at a height or along skirtings to keep cords out of reach of children and pets. If you expect to change cables frequently, install short sections rather than one continuous length so individual pieces can be opened and serviced more easily. Consider alternative wider systems if you have several thick cables or power bricks that exceed the stated 7 mm capacity.
