Legrand Wiremold Cord Cover, Ivory Cable Concealer Kit for Wall-Mounted TV, 15 ft Cord Management Channel to Hide Cables and Wires, CDI-5

I gave this product five stars because it is exactly what I needed and expected based on the reviews of others. As others have stated, there are two primary complaints about this product so purchase this product only if these minor issues and/or remedies are acceptable to you. The product is made out of rubber that holds a memory when coiled while hot during the manufacturing process, especially at the core of the coil. This is very easily remedied by performing the following simple steps: 1. Remove product from packaging and place the entire coil in the sink without stretching it out. Put a stopper in the sink such that water won't drain out. 2. Heat a large stock pot full of water until it boils. 3. Using the appropriate personal protective equipment and taking all necessary safety precautions to prevent scalding, pour the boiling water over the coil and watch it magically return to its intended shape like a giant shrinky-dink snake. 4. Allow it to soak in the hot water for a few minutes. Then, remove it with some tongs, let it drip dry for a few seconds, and lay it out on the floor. The curl will be completely disappeared with less than 15 minutes of effort. The second complaint that most people have is that the ink from the product labeling on the underside is transferred to the visible part because it's coiled prior to allowing the ink to completely dry. It makes it look a bit dirty and scuffed upon cursory glance and you wouldn't know it was ink unless you got down on your hands and knees and looked closely. This appearance was acceptable to me, but in the interest of solving the problem I did a little experimentation and determined that you can make it look slightly better with a finish sander and a lot of time and patience. Please note that my results concluded that this method does remove the ink; however, instead of "appearing" scuffed and dirty it actually becomes scuffed and dirty. Given enough time, effort, and sandpaper you could probably get it to look pristine but in my opinion it really isn't worth that much time, effort, and sandpaper.

Works great to cover cords that u need power in middle of floors.

I needed to cover some cords in my basement gym, and this cord cover was the right length and price for my needs. After using it for a month, I am happy with the purchase but there are indeed issues. It is easy to install cords into the cover itself, which is not always the case with these. I used tin snips to cut the cover to its desired length, and based on the durability of the material, I think regular scissors would have a hard time cutting through the rubber without serious effort. The only genuine drawback to this product is the packaging, specifically the tight curl they form the cover into for shipping. I uncurled the cover before use and placed heavy boxes all along it for two weeks in an attempt to get it to lie flat on the ground. Even after this the ends of the cover wanted to recurl. I kept the product in a reverse curl for another week and when installing it used the included double sided tape- still the cover wants to curl up at its ends. I've read that boiling this product will help to flatten it, but the idea of cooking a big piece of rubber in one of my pots seemed both a bit too dirty and a bit too involved. Even with this issue, the cover does its job, is reasonably priced, and (I'm pretty sure) will eventually flatten.

Works perfectly on our patio to route and reasonably hide a 16 gauge extension cord between two areas. No problem laying flat after a few minutes out of the box (the weather was warm), and it stays flat and in place. In our case, the color is enough of match to the pavers that it doesn't stand out much visually. Your mileage (and need) may vary on that, but we wanted, and got, a low physical profile and the low visual profile that we wanted. Very nice quality.

Put this this in the sun for a couple days on warm days, and the curl comes out completely. I've got a 10' stretch of this across the driveway that leads to my back acre where some friends are storing big trucks they use for a tree business, its protecting the outdoor extension cord to my RV trailer that keeps my RV battery happy, its been out there for 3 years being driven over by 1 ton and larger trucks every day at low speeds, and it still looks like it did the day I put it out there. I've had a piece I carefully cut to fit snugly into a high traffic interior door sill with an ethernet wire, thats been there nearly 10 years (that ethernet is the main trunk from the rest of my house to the south end where the family room etc is).

I purchased this item to cover two coaxial cables that run along the threshold of my mudroom door. Kids were always tripping over the cables. I searched for awhile to find the best product, and I'm glad I choose this one. It's a heavy material, that lies flat even without using the included adhesive. I was able to stuff both coaxial cables into the channel, though it did hurt my fingers- I had to stop and take a break for a bit before finishing the entire run of cable. It looks great along my flooring, better than seeing cables. Mine did not have any ink bleed onto the product, and the chemical smell went away within a couple days. If you have somewhere outside to let let it air out and lie flat for a day or so, I would recommend doing that. It would help with installation as well as the smell.

Product is good. Works well. The color is Beige, not ivory - much darker then the picture. Good price and a touch item. Making it stick to the ground is an issue with all cable handlers. This one allows you to tuck the ends into furniture or carpet so it holds better. It better to have it anchored somewhere. Rating is because the color name and picture is not accurate. Search the web and you will get a more accurate picture of the color.

Great

Roomba vacuum failed to go over this cord protector. It is too steep. The robot vacuum will get stuck at the peak of the cord protector and waste a lot of energy trying to go over. In addition there is a gap between the floor and cord protector. It causes the side brush of the robot vacuum to get stuck and break.
