Reddit reviews RG6 Coaxial Cable Clips, Electrical Wire Cable Clips (100 pack), CableWholesale, White

I bought a long, white coax cable from home depot, and ran it down the wall, and around the baseboards to the opposite wall, to be hidden on my media unit. Used these to secure it tightly in place, along boards. It is basically invisible. You can also get different styles of clips at your hardware store.

Is this more like what you're looking for?

I think rampant destruction is one of the things that you just have to be prepared for when you decide to have pets or small children, it comes with the territory :-) No matter how careful you try to be, the best you can do is plan on the fact that something will get destroyed, and try to make sure that it doesn't end with a trip to the emergency vet/hospital.

I have a very curious Great Dane who's now 16 months old. Even in his puppy days he was big enough to reach my vanity table-top and/or knock the table over. A few months ago I solved the problem entirely by moving my battlestation into my master closet, which is a walk-in. Dexter is afraid of the bathroom (which is between the bedroom and closet), so he won't go near it at all. It didn't sound like you have a place to put your stuff that's off-limits to the cats, so here are some other things I've done in the past to pet-proof my valuables-

• Make everything as inaccessible as possible. Do you have free wall-space where you could mount a shelf that the cats can't get to? It would have to be high enough off the floor and far enough away from launching points for the cats to jump to, so it depends on how agile they are :-)
  
  
• Make everything as stationary as possible. Velcro picture-hanging strips (like this) are great. Just put one side on the bottom of anything you don't want to be knocked over and the other side on the surface where it sits. Mirror, lamp, storage containers, etc.
  
  
• Don't leave things dangling. I'm thinking primarily of lamp cords, but really anything that might make a tempting toy or get snagged when pets get the zoomies. Cords can be tacked down with cable clips or even taped down with duct tape.
  
  
• Regarding lights - lamps with flexible necks might be a good option. If they're secured to the table, a cat hitting them should just move the lamp head instead of knocking the whole thing to the floor. LED lamps might also be a little more resistant to bulb breakage.
  
  
• Don't leave any small items lying around. Containers for everything, seriously. I store my makeup in acrylic drawers like this and this. Both are pretty difficult to open without opposable thumbs. I got mine from Amazon, but they're really generic and you can find the exact same things on ebay. They're fairly light and could get knocked over, so I'd recommend the picture-hanging strips to secure them to the table/shelf/whatever. I bet you could also use adhesive-backed velcro to rig up little 'latches' on the drawers.

I would have had the same problem, but instead I bought these [bad boys] (http://www.amazon.com/Cable-Clip-White-RG6-100-pieces/dp/B000I97FHY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1344787963&sr=8-1&keywords=ethernet+clips). I don't know how your parents would like the cable going along the trim though :\

If your 2.4GHz spectrum is crowded, then moving to the 5GHz spectrum could really help. Remember, though, that both the router and the computer have to support 5GHz to talk there. You might need to buy a new wireless card for it.

If you want to be sure you'll never have to deal with wireless interference again, though, you have to ditch the wireless. You can buy network cable in all kinds of lengths for pretty cheap, and just tack it to your baseboards.

Hmm, wonder why they did that. Anyway, here's an Amazon link - https://www.amazon.ca/CableWholesale-Cable-Clip-White-Pieces-200-961/dp/B000I97FHY/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=coaxial+cable+clip&qid=1571259964&sr=8-3

Just buy these...

I have my entire rented house ran using those things, I just do it along the wall/baseboard all neat and stuff. They have wider versions if you wanna run two cables instead of one. When I need to run it up a wall and there is no corner near by, I just use this...

Staple gun is not a good idea, it will almost certainly damage it. They make purpose made staple guns for running wires, or you can get a pack of cable tacks Example.

Edit: If you really want to use a staple gun, don't staple the wire, staple a zip tie up in the middle and then use that to secure the cable.

Yea if its a brick house you need basement or attic access to be minimally invasive. If the landlord is cool and does not care... you could just drill in through the side of the house right next to what ever room you were running the wire into.

If you do the eyehole thing on the door. Just be sure to run the wires so they will not get pinched :)

These will help with that

I'm in a pretty arid place, but even I have gutters. How does your house handle rain?

That being said: electrical staples.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CableWholesale-Cable-Clip-White-Pieces-200-961/dp/B000I97FHY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1481834961&sr=8-2&keywords=cable+tacks

Maybe you can find one sized exactly for USB, Q&A indicates this might be just a touch loose.

• Wifi
  
• Powerline adapters (but you'll still run ethernet to the adapters themselves)
  
  Either solution will introduce latency. So if you're playing competitive fps games, it'll negatively affect your game.
  
  Why not use something like this to make the wire run look neater?

They have cable holders that do exactly this.

Just run one along the wall above head level and hold it up using these things

thats what I did, not 200 feet though.

These - I was able to get a smaller container of them at Walmart for like $1-2 bucks. They work well if you dont mind putting a nail in the floor.

Cable Staples

I have friend that just ran a plain old Cat6 Cable straight from the room that the router was in throw a window up into to his bedroom. The trouble was over time the tiny hole the window screen became a massive tear. You could also get some coax clips and pin that cable along the ceiling. I've done that for my home theater system because there was too much insolation in the walls to fish the cable.

could be something like this https://www.amazon.com/CableWholesale-Cable-Clip-White-Pieces-200-961/dp/B000I97FHY

Those little hook and nail things are great for running a cable line long the wall and keeping it in place as well...

standards we follow for certified installs are in a crawlspace under a building if there is 500mm (around 2 foot i guess?) clearance between the ground and the floor we can use indoor cabling.

as someone who runs into old installs all the time i have seen indoor cabling used in nasty ass wet environments and still running after 10 years or so.

i would say in your case used cable clips like this
http://www.amazon.com/CableWholesale-Cable-Clip-White-Pieces-200-961/dp/B000I97FHY
on indoor cat6, if theres a bit of slack make a coil and cable tie it gently onto the supported cable.

I see. So you are saying double sided tape didn't really work for you either? Maybe we would need to get something like this then

Under my couches I used the little nail-in coax cable clips. Not these ones specifically, but ones like that.

The wooden frame of the couch is hidden from view, and a couple of small nails in the wood won't hurt anything. When I took one out, you could barely tell that it had ever been in there, and that was when I was under the couch.

Well the wire just need to be plugged into both end, how it get there does not matter to the wire but most people like to hide long wires.

The staple cannot go through the wire of course. I would use something like this:

If the lag ONLY occurs when using wifi and never occurs while using ethernet (and you don't care about others' experiences), the best solution is to try to hard-wire as much as you can. Get tacks, run an ethernet cable (my walls are white so I use white) in a very tasteful way and make it look pretty.

https://www.amazon.com/CableWholesale-Cable-Clip-White-Pieces-200-961/dp/B000I97FHY/

with that said, yeah, in the best of cases your wifi is set up so that you're never more than ~10 meters from a wireless access point and you have both 2.4 and 5GHz bands to choose from (wireless-b/g/n all work with 2.4GHz, wireless-a/n/ac work with 5GHz). Wifi will never be as good as hard wired though.

I was planning on using clips like these...I use these on my cable cords in 1-2 of my bedrooms... as long as I can find ones that are that large.

When I was renting I used a lot of these with network cable that was also white so it didn't look terrible. If you nail them below the trim ling or at the bottom edge of the trim you won't have to putty/paint later. But powerline ethernet adapters are a pretty good option too.

Now moved into a new place and will be running Cat6 through the attic. If you have ceiling/floor access you could see if the landlord is interested in you wiring the place properly if you can make it look clean.

I would attach the cable to the shelves/wall using these to make sure it is straight and tidy, then tape or otherwise attach the leftover cable to the bottom of the bottom shelves. It would really neaten it up a lot.
