Can this be stapled up under your table or desk and still function properly to hold cables up off the floor?

Yes, I would think it could be. I am not using it in that application, but the way it is coiled is pretty tight, and I believe if you stapled the middle to a desk, there would be plenty of strength to hold the cables as long as it is not severely overstuffed. You could also use zip ties between the stapled areas to keep it nice and tight. Hope that helps.

I place my laptop on the insert table/shelf and leave a bit of slack in the cable to allow for opening and closing and securing the cable with a velcro strap to the inside back panel. There is not a hole through the panel to route the cable but in my case, the exterior of the back panel is visible (as opposed to being up against a wall) so that's less preferrable.

yes and no. The sticky back will stick to wood, I use it to hold cables on my desk. However, I wouldnt assume it can hold a lot of weight, especially over time. If your just tying up cables, or something relatively light, these will work fine.

I would say no. Especially if the cord is thick like most computer cables are. You might get the plug to fit but then you won't be able to get the cover over if the cable is big. It's ok for laptop cords, lamp cords, and I have one on my sewing machine. But if the cable/cord is even slightly bigger then it won't fit in the tiny hole at the bottom that is has too to snap the cover on.

This is NOT the stapler to use for tv cable (coax) - or any round cable. This stapler will damage the wire, especially coax. What you're looking for is the T37. It is designed to shoot round staples. Notice how the head is cut out for the cable you are securing. Arrow Fastener T37 Wire and Cable Tacker

it holds the cable very well, but you still can move forward and backward, you can not place upside down because it has no glue, the product works like a paper clip (something heavy but you can place anywhere on your desk)

yes! use the type of fastener that is used to secure cords to a base board. or if you happen to have a fastener of the type that is used to secure wire shelving to a wall. the kind that is often seen with the closet organizer type shelving. or you can look around and see what you can repurpose. when I bought this rack it was listed as a magazine holder. I immediately saw it as the perfect rack to hold my ceramic coated frying pans. good luck

Closed, it would likely work fine for a shelf. Open, it wouldn't hold much weight and it doesn't open flat with the cable off, it looks nice, it's not a heavy duty box.

Mine seems pretty secure (side of a white desk-overhead unit); I'd bet removing it would peel off what's under it. Pads don't seem like the ones that come with those "removable" wall hooks.

I looked and measured. This can hold staples NO WIDER than 3/16ths inch. It can hold staples NO LONGER than 9/16ths inch. They are flat topped, not "crowned" --that is, the top of the staple is not for wire or cable, is is flat. The channel in which the staples travel is also flat. If you tried to use cable staples it would jam. You can use staples that are less than 9/16ths long, but they must remain 3/16ths wide. That size serves well for carpet and very, very light construction. I strongly discourage use of wider staples. Even 1/4 inch might be too tight. 1/2 inch wide is utterly out of the question. ---

I have found that you have to set the stapler on your desktop (instead of holding with your hand). Apparently, you apply too much pressure by holding it in your hand. With it on your desk, there isn't as much pressure.

It can be easily detached, however because of the beveled design of the back, and how the cables come out, it can't lay flat on a table (or at least I wouldn't). The base lets it lay pretty far back though. So it gets pretty flat. WT

No adhesive, weighted to stay on desktop, cords pull up and out easily . I think gravity would work against you if you use it upside down.

Yes. It is not too difficult. Measure the spacing carefully, and leave just enough space under the screw head for a tight fit. I used the device to organize the cord clutter under the work desk.

The short answer is yes. Given the short working range of this clamp, lifting the item vertically should not be an issue I would think.

Yes, it will work just fine with short staples. This Porter Cable stapler works very well.

I agree with the other responder. If you purchase Command strips (I use the Velcro ones in my office so I can reposition things slightly to get them level), you should be able to hang it without issue. If/when you need to remove, you just pull straight down on the sticky strips and they release without damage.
