Do you have to use a lot of force to snap on the plastic clips that secure the cables & are the clips even necessary? It seems really hard to do.

Yeah, it does take some effort but I did get mine on. It's probably good to keep them from being loose - you could try other method such as fasteners if needed.

By the way, be sure to tighten ALL bolts prior to first use. I found some of the factory-assembled parts to have loose bolts. Otherwise, I am satisfied with this product tho it struggles in really wet, heavy snow.

No not at all, the connection is very tight but you have to make sure that it "snaps" and is really together, ours is still doing the job and very happy with the purchase

Have you used a crimping/stripping tool to "clean" and prep the cable first? This is a critical step. the connectors slide on relatively easily once the end of the cable has been prepared. Other than that I have no ideas.

I just used the little white clam shell clips. But I had to strip the wire in order for the clips to make good contact it was a pain in the b***

No, it would not be difficult to pull the cables in and out. However, I am pretty sure it would not hold more than three cables.

I have used these on a table that is about 1 1/2 inches - while they did fine and I didn't have any snap under pressure, I also think I was probably at the outer limit of the clip's capacity. You might want to get metal clips if you are going to stretch it as far as 2".

If I remember right, the little white clips just snap onto the two wires you're trying to connect. They were tough to put on, sometimes.

clips on easy, you should be able to clip on with belt type connection, I don't use it that way but looks easy to do

It isn't easy to secure but this is what I've done: Put the lower circular connectors on top of one another so they are together. The top parts then go together by pushing the part that sticks up into the groove on the edge of the other side. They then are locked in place.

Good question - it's supposed to snap in place easily - but, it took us a try or two. Also, I am not very pleased with how it works. It is more of an impediment than a beneficial component.

It's tough, but you just pull them apart. It helps if you press along the inside edge while you pull. They just snap together and it's very sturdy.

I did not experience this issue... I do remember having some pieces backwards as I didn't interpret the instructions correctly as they were kind of vague; not sure if that could be part of the problem or not, but it is a possibility maybe... although I wouldn't think it is likely as there as only so many places to put the plastic clips!

You have to pull really hard on the bottom cable. It will almost feel like you're breaking it. Took me a while how to get it

The tension rods are metal and the snap connectors are plastic. The plastic connectors don't appear that they would break with normal installation.

You are correct. You will need either hide a set screw somewhere or find some other fashion of lateral support given it being possible to slide the two clips apart.

i just get my thumbs between the two clips and spread them out of the way, if they get in my way. i don't find a problem with it. love that its very secure. especially if you have $$$ camera.

Every toslink/optical cable I've ever used has indeed snapped in. It is not a real hard snap in though.It certainly should not be falling out, the connection point on your device may be damaged.Do you have any other input to try so you can see if it is just the one input that is not snapping in?
