Vantage Point's Wire Management Offers a Complete Solution for Flexible Installation (16/10/2006)

Wire cover camouflages unsightly cables and has multiple hardware options

Vantage Point has developed a complete wire management system that offers consumers a package solution for all of their installation needs, while camouflaging unsightly wires.

Most retail wire management systems offer a single mounting method to attach the channeling to the wall by either adhesives or screws. However, with adhesive alone the consumer only gets one chance to position the channeling right. In situations where the wire channel needs to be detached adhesives can create significant damage. Additional systems that use screws only to attach the wire channeling to the wall, are not effective when installing into concrete, brick, tile or block construction.

Vantage Point's wire management system is inclusive of both mounting options. The base channel comes with adhesive, yet also has screw holes so that screws and anchors can be used if desired. The benefit is that a small amount of adhesive can be used to align the wall channel while screwing it in, eliminating the one chance to position the product right and minimize the removal damage.

Additionally, most surface mounted wire management systems become detached from the wall where the wires exit the channel. The weight of the wires and articulation of the mounted product are common contributing factors that lead to this failure. To solve this problem Vantage Point created sturdy end caps that hold wires in place and resist pull out and cracking.

Until now, the design of other wire management products left consumers with little flexibility to hold the wires in place. Vantage Point has engineered a base and cover design, which does not rely on the cover to hold the wires in place, it serves a cosmetic function only. The base has exclusive alternating retention tabs that wires are laced under to fasten them in place. Additionally, the base has loops that can receive wire ties to further secure wires into the channel. Covers are pushed on, allowing for easy installation and removal. Also ideal for uneven wall conditions where the edge of the cover can adjust along the wall surface, independent of the base, for a cleaner finished look.

The Wire Cover (WC60-W) retails for $34.99 and can be painted to match any wall color and enhance dˇcor. It is comprised of approximately 60" of wire covering with a 90¼ corner piece included. Multiple sets can be connected if additional length is needed.
