Installing 4CELNK-YR Rack Cable Clips

Adding clips to the 1″ posts Yes, it’s true. It’s really simple. Warming them slightly (to ~130F / 54C ) can help ease them over. NOTE: When doing this, the clips may make “crackling” noises, and there might be discoloration of the plastic on the inside edge. This is actually normal for this kind of 3D-printed part; see our longer explanation farther down on this page. IMPORTANT: Don’t spread the arms out too far! The wider and farther you bend them, and the more often you do that, the more they will lose their “spring” over time. Yes, they can …

How much can they hold?

The cable areas in the clips for tubing diameters 1.0 inch and above are designed to hold at least 7 typical “SVT” power cords (UL-Type SVT, 3C/18AWG 300V, ~6mm in diameter). On the OR3V models, the Base Kit has parts to manage cables on both sides of the rig, so expect 12-16 “power cord equivalents” (PCE) total capacity on the rig, front-to-back. Up the thruster mount / mouse platform you’ll get about 6-7 PCE. The 1.25 Expanded Capacity clips have a secondary channel, sized for ~4 16AWG two-conductor speaker cables, in addition to the 8 SVTs on the other side. …

How much can the EMT clips hold?

The cable areas in the clips for tubing diameters 1.0 inch and above are designed to hold 7-8 typical “SVT” power cords (UL-Type SVT, 3C/18AWG 300V, ~6mm in diameter). The under-1.0 inch sizes are made to handle 4-5 SVTs. “Well yeah, but my cables are HEAVY!” The thing to remember is that no component is ever infinitely strong, nor will anything (besides time itself) last forever. The same is true with 4CELNK-YR clips. There is some large amount of force that will break them. I haven’t reached it yet, but it’s not at all impossible to yank on a cable …

Installing 4CELNK-YR Rack 0.25 Cable Clips

Adjust for the 0.25 clips: new picture, new instructions. NOTE: When doing this, the clips may make “crackling” noises, and there might be discoloration of the plastic on the inside edge. This is actually normal for this kind of 3D-printed part; see our longer explanation farther down on this page. IMPORTANT: Don’t spread the arms out too far! The more you bend them, and the more often you bend them, the more they will lose their “spring” over time. Yes, they can actually be spread quite large and they will “work” afterwards. But, never as well as before being over-stressed.

Installing 4CELNK-YR Cable Clips

Yes, that’s all there is. Snap them on, add bands if you think they’ll be needed, then and start adding cables. See the section farther down on how to set the tension using the bands, but often they’re not needed. NOTE: When you do this, the clips may make “crackling” noises, and there might be discoloration of the plastic on the inside edge. This is actually normal for this kind of 3D-printed part.
