How to Protect Your Cables from Pets and Kids: Practical Tips and Solutions

Pets and kids are naturally curious and active, often putting cables at risk. Damaged cables can cause hazards, interruptions, and expensive repairs.

Protect your cables effectively:

  • Use wire looms and tubing: Bundle cables inside protective sleeves to prevent chewing and tangling.

  • Cord covers: EZ Hidewire’s rubberized protectors add a tough barrier that resists bites and pulls.

  • Elevate cables: Keep cords off the floor where pets and kids can reach. Use adhesive clips or under-desk trays.

  • Hide excess cable: Avoid loops or dangling cords that invite play.

Bonus tips:

Train kids and pets on cable safety from an early age. Use positive reinforcement to keep cables off-limits.
