Installation Instructions
Follow these steps to install the cable tie bases and secure your cables:
Step 1: Mark and Fix the Base
Choose the desired location for your cable management. Place a cable tie base on the surface and mark the screw hole. Using a suitable screwdriver, fix the cable tie base to the wall or surface with one of the provided screws. Ensure the base is securely fastened.

Step 2: Insert the Cable Tie
Thread a self-locking cable zip tie through the slots in the fixed cable tie base. Ensure the locking mechanism of the zip tie is facing upwards for easy access.
Step 3: Position and Tighten Cables
Gather the cables you wish to organize and place them within the loop of the cable tie. Pull the free end of the zip tie through its locking head to secure the cables. Adjust the tightness to hold the cables firmly without crushing them.
Step 4: Trim Excess
Once the cables are securely bundled, use a pair of scissors or wire cutters to trim off any excess length of the zip tie for a neat appearance.

Maintenance
The FOLAI Cable Tie Base and Zip Tie Kit requires minimal maintenance. Periodically inspect installed bases and ties for any signs of wear or damage. Replace any damaged components to ensure continued cable security.
Troubleshooting
- Cable Tie Not Holding: Ensure the zip tie is correctly threaded through the locking head and pulled taut. If the tie breaks easily, it might be due to excessive force or a faulty tie; replace with a new one.
- Base Not Secure: Verify that the screw is fully tightened into a suitable surface. If the surface material is too soft or crumbly, the screw may not hold; consider using a wall anchor if necessary (not included).
- Cables Too Loose: Re-adjust the zip tie to a tighter setting. If the bundle is too large for one tie, use multiple ties or a larger tie (not included).
