    No problems mate. Glad they arrived intact.

    And yes they are as thick as a garden hose, I checked :smile:

    Have fun wrestling them in place!

    Also as I'm OCD about keeping stuff looking pristine, something I thought I'd mention. Those monoprice cable wraps are super nice (I have TONS in 9" and 6" and highly recommend them for keeping your cables neat on the rack and also in boxes), but since they are velcro will snag the fabric on the cable.

    So if your using them to store something maybe put a barrier between the wrap and the cable.

    For my HDMI cables and anything thats got a plastic outer shell its not a big deal, but most of my "good" powercables have fabric sheaths and it catches on them and causes snag's which irk me on a personal level.

    good point and heads up about the ocd and velcro, Dan. I've noticed similar. have you noticed whether reversing the velcro makes any difference? I use the cheaper velcro ties, and it helps some if I wrap with the fluffy side out.
    I disabled signatures.

    I've got access to teflon mailers at work. I just cut them up into small strips and wrap the cable with it before I put the tie on.

    Thats what the white stuff you see in the picture above is.

    With these wraps there is not a way to reverse the connection and have it hold right.

    Like I said not an issue with 99% of my cables (HDMI, Ethernet, Stock powercables) but that 1% of good cables I like to keep pretty.

    I also use plastic tubing to route my wires and then cable tie around that to keep things in place. I need to get some bigger in diameter stuff since I redid my rack and things are a bit too out of place for my OCD....

    see below picture...

    lol, Has your wife seen those yet? And has she gasped, "What the $%^& are those? Are YOU serious?" lol

    My wife would probably have the Divorce papers ready! No, wait, she'd probably commit me to you know where!

    Enjoy!

    My wife sees things like that and just rolls her eyes. Normally I can hear em hit the back of her head.

    Thats when I know I'm teetering on the edge of a sarcastic comment, or even worse a full on "OH NO YOU DIDN'T" conversation......
