How strong are the ports? Do the cables easily come out if pulled on?

I haven't had any trouble plugging cables in or taking them out. But once they are plugged in they seem very secure.

I have had this for over a year and none of the cords have come out. I haven't pulled on them to see if they come out easily but I have moved devices to dust and none have been pulled out.

I purchased mine in December, 2012 and constantly disconnect/connect cables. Still strong and have that feeling of lock at the end when plug it in. I am totally happy.

Never a problem. Just a simple & inexpensive device. Recommended for average-duty use.

They are okay but I don't think the connectors stay together very well. With daily use, I notice that the doors fall off all the time, and sometimes one of the shelves will slip out of a connector. I use it as a shelving unit to hold clothing in storage cubes from Ikea. I think if you use it for lightweight items it may be okay.

on this case the cable actually comes out at the middle, and is fairly long, so you shouldn't have any issues with that. my USB port is on the right also, and everything has plenty of reach.

I've used them to pull a full stack on the cable machine with no problems! 200lbs was the stack.

I have 4 of them and they're not extra strong. The magnetic strength is just about right I think, any weaker and the connector would keep coming off with the slightest movements. Been using with an X1, X1 compact and X3 compact and none of the charger ports came out...

There is a fair amount of space to get your hands and tools into this case, and the steel isn't going to immediately strip out if you accidentally over-tighten a post. There are plenty of Zip-tie points behind the main bulkhead to make your cables go where you want them. The only real issue I ran into with cable management was on the back side, which became crowded. I'm running 6 HDD's, so there's a fair amount of cabling to be managed, it still closes just fine, and I can gain access to everything I need.

They're light weight, yes. That's exactly what I did. I bought a pack of "Command" brand damage-free hangars and just stuck them to the underside. The switch, cables, everything.

Initially it is a little snug, but not hard to pull out as long as you are inserting the device into a usb port that is not recessed or has anything nearby that could get in the way. I would recommend using the usb port in the front of a computer a few times. FYI, this thing is super fast & I am been extremely satisfied with mine. Only complaint is that it does not come with a threaded loop so you can attach it to something, although it does have a hole so you could use one.

Yes.. the only drawback is you would have to cut them once you wanted to remove the cables. There are other things such as regular wire tie or velcro that you can use that are easily removable

I haven't found it difficult, but some ports are harder than others, you can still put a cord in it if you want

yes--I've stopped using them. If your computer sits on a desk and doesn't move around, they're ok. But in and out of a case--the plugs will fall out.

My experience has been that the Mac end of the cable does not obstruct adjacent ports.Hope this helps.

Yes they do. You actually twist the cables into the jack like a screw. They never come out. It's very strong.

They are loose, they work well and are quality made. I never have any issue getting them out. Hope this helps

I haven't had any issues with them. I have used them for the past three months. They appear to be well made, there light weight and they don't place any stress on the connections.Any excess cable rolls up neatly and is easily tucked away. I am in the process of replacing all my cables with the monoprice ultra slim hdmi cables. I don't notice any difference in the quality or performance of these cables. Don't hesitate to buy these.

You can push the cable inside it(that line on the top of it in the pictures show where they can open up) After awhile the bigger one became a bit loose so if you have it hanging on its side or upside down and pressure is put on the cable it can come out.

The hooks are pretty strong and have withstood heavy use. I believe the hooks are held to the cord using tension, so there is very little risk of them snapping off.
