Finally...cable control!
579895
With all the electronics people are buying lately, me included, there needs to be a way to control all the cables these things bring into our lives.  I bought several packages and now color coordinate all the cables matching to one electronic device.  Personally I think this company needs to come up with an expanded organizing system which includes these colored cable ties, matching colored mesh bags, and matching colored labels.  Different sizes, of course, to really meet everyones needs.

I love it when electronics just work as they should right out of the box without having to fiddle with things. This is one of those cases -- just plug it in, and it works! I'm using it with Cox Cable and have had zero problems. I'm getting consistent 20mb speeds on a 15mb tier, so I'm thrilled!

Also appreciate the small footprint so it takes up little room on the shelf.

Highly recommend!

Made my life so much easier! I had to figure out a way to run to cables into one outgoing slot. This did the job beautifully!

This amplifier just works!  Took me all of 20 minutes to wire my entire home for over-the-air HDTV.  The quick installation time was helped by the fact that my home was already pre-wired with coaxial cable in every room.  The installation of the Bi-directional amplifier was so very simple, that all I had to do was attach the antenna cable and then the 6 coax cable from every room.  Since this unit has 8 ports, I used 75 ohm terminator caps on the unused outlets.  The only difficult part for me was to dig out an old short 10" coaxial cable from my cable stash box, to run from the power unit to the amplifier.  It would have been nice if they had provided such a cable with the power unit.  When the unit was powered up,  a small green light turned on next to the power cable plug and that was it!  Highly recommend this product!

Easy to set up. Easy to use. Goodbye cable TV

I had a hard time deciding between this and the Quirky cord manger product but I really liked how I could customize this setup. No more digging under my nightstand for my IPhone charger!

Pros:
1. Easy to setup
2. Neutral color matches any decor
3. You can fit more than one cord in each unit
4. You can customize the configuration of your cable management
5. Stays in place. I've had zero problems with this moving around on me.

Cons:
1. I'm a little worried about removing the adhesive stuff if I ever want to move these around. The Quirky product doesn't use adhesive.

The reason I purchased this product was because we were moving our entertainment center with all of our media to another wall where I wasn't going to be able to place the cable modem and my existing wireless router.  Those stayed where they were.  I also have media devices that were wired connections only.  So, how was I going to connect these devices without extending CAT 6 cable all over the place?  The Buffalo Technology N-Technology Wireless-N150 Router and Access Point WCR-GN (White) was the answer.

The device is very small and fit perfectly in a little space behind the TV where it was unseen and unobstrusive.  Perfect.  It synced with my existing network, has 4 ethernet plugs for my devices.  Perfect.  Has some level of encryption.  Perfect.

However, it took me nearly and hour to configure the darn thing.  Professionally, I'm an network engineer and this thing was so difficult to configure I almost threw it away.  I can't imagine the difficulty someone might have who isn't familiar with the lingo.  The software is not intuitive and extremely cumbersome.  The nice thing is once it's up, I never have to touch it again.  And it works like a charm.

Perfect.  I had a hard time finding this but so glad I did.  I'm using it for Ethernet jack, HDMI jack, RCA, COAX, and 1 mini plug, and they all fit nicely and it works great.  It's of course tight quarters, but I don't have a problem getting to anything in the back.  I have had it installed for a while and had to add 2 RCA jacks just yesterday, so nice to be able to unscrew 4 screws and pop in the new inserts.

Works as advertised, it is great for controlling a single unit. My cable box is now mounted on the back of the bedroom TV and now my wife can swing the TV to be viewed from any direction without having to reorient the cable box each time. She thinks I'm a genius, but this will pass.

For the last 5 years, I had a 100Base-T cable going through the wall from our office to the living room Ethernet switch for our set-top Roku box (gets program streams over the Internet, no Cable $$ bill needed). Now we are moving out of an apartment to a two-story townhouse, and the incoming (cable and/or DSL) network connection will be upstairs; we needed a wired LAN connection downstairs, so I bought these ahead of time to test the connection. And no, I didn't want to go with wireless for streaming video.

These little boxes are a dream! It was so easy to connect up in the computer room to an available port on the 16-port Ethernet switch, plug it in a NON-surge-protected power strip (this may not be a requirement, but did it anyway, as I cannot reach the actual wall due to computer gear). I used a 1-foot two-wire extension cord to make it easier to manage the clearance into the power strip (see picture). I pressed the button on the first unit, then plugged the other in the living room into another non-surge-protected power strip, pressed that button, they linked up...it works!

I initially tried the surge-protected strip that the TV was plugged into, but the TP-Link displayed RED light saying the network signal strength wasn't good. Moved it to a non-surge-protected/filtered strip, get a GREEN signal strength light.

I was torn between buying the single- and the double-Ethernet outlet unit. The double-outlet was a good choice, as the Ethernet switch that the Roku (and Xbox, Wii, etc) all plug into is switched OFF when the TV's surge-protected power strip is powered off at night. The living room Powerline box now goes into an always-on power strip, so I can plug in a laptop and let it back up over the LAN (or go to use it anytime) without having to remember to turn on the TV's power strip (so the Ethernet switch is active).

I've removed the hard-wired cable through the wall, and will likely buy another TP-Link Powerline box to extend the wireless signal (WLAN) to the far end of the new house (the WLAN/WAP is on a different network via firewall than the regular LAN).

Awesome alternative to running lots of cable! I needed to connect my bedroom TV to my router and did not want to run a bunch of ethernet/cat5 cable in order to do so. This solved my problem in a heartbeat. Plug one unit into the router and electrical outlet, the other into the TV and outlet and BAM, internet TV in the bedroom.

Oh thank goodness for this!!! It FINALLY solved the problem I had with Comcast. I have a single feed going to a 3 way splitter. A 3.5db, 7db, 7db. The 3.5 db goes to the modem, and one 7 feeds a single TV upstairs. The problem was the basement had a single splitter and the DVR and the box down there had problems. Not terrible, but could not get some HD channels and flaky other times. So either no HD or find a solution. While there are probably other solutions, THIS WORKED! (I tried swapping between the 3.5, 7 db for the boxes and modem (then the modem would not work)). I tried other boosters (Learned the less on returns and blocking returns, etc...), but I was not educated on the need for ACTIVE RETURN.
I did not use it, but the variable gain really was what sold me on this, so if I needed to tweak it I could.

Nonetheless, if you have a comcast X1, that is split 3 ways and need to further split a branch for 2 boxes, GET THIS! Note, I have not tried it with the modem since I just need it for 2 TVs on a single branch.

I run a computer network and have many, many, MANY cables that I have to deal with.
Every single cable I own now has a built in wire tie.
I've been using these for years (just came back for more).

It's funny that I'm all excited about wire ties, but I LOVE these.
They're basically perfect in every way.
Literally.
It's like they perfected the wire tie.

They cost less (much) than others.
I see ties at Staples or wherever for about $1 each.
Ooooh, a ten-pack for $8.99, what a deal. Hah!
These are what, $0.06 each?

The Velcro runs the ENTIRE LENGTH of the tie on both sides.
You can stick any part of one side to any part of the other side.
Or to any part of any another tie.

Each has a LOOP on the end so you can actually attach it to a cable (like a noose, sort of).
Then that cable always has a tie.
When the cable's in use, wrap the tie up into a little ring and forget it.
When the cable's not in use, bundle it, tie it with it's built-in wire tie, and store it.
Every cable I own now has a wire tie built in to it; power, usb, mouse/keyboard, ethernet, monitor, etc.

The loop and full length Velcro also let you stick ties together in any configuration you want.

Need a LONGER tie?
How about a five foot Velcro wire tie?  No problem.
Feed one through the loop of another about an inch, press together, repeat.
Daisy chain as many as you need.
Since each is fed through the loop of another, they grip each other from both sides.
That means they can't be pulled apart, they have to be sheared apart, which makes them very strong.

Need a STRONGER tie?
No problem, sandwich a few together.
Or make a long one like above and wrap it around the cables (or whatever) multiple times to form a layered ring.
Two layers, five layers, ten layers.
How strong do you want it?

Works great on my Charter (now Spectrum) Cisco Explorer DVR cable box and another regular Cisco Explorer cable box. Cable boxes are now completely hidden!

I got this to interrupt the cable signal to our Comcast modem in the times when it needs to be reset so I don't have to crawl under the desk like I have been doing. Mounted it near the top of the back of the desk...Works like a charm!

Replaced older Tivo Premiere with Roamio Plus and 2 Mini's. Set one mini up with cat 6 ethernet and one with MOCA on coax. Both work well regardless of wiring used. Now I can cancel the Comcast boxes I "rent". Make so much sense to share localized content.
Nice job by Tivo.
