Is it possible to attach a LAN cable to the wall with a hot glue gun?

Since I'm using a LAN cable instead of Wi-Fi, a friend suggested attaching the cable to the wall with a hot glue gun. Will that damage the cable? I have my doubts.

A cable channel would be the much more beautiful solution, but can do that.

Just make sure it’s an S/FTP cable, otherwise you can get signal problems afterwards.

And don’t hold on directly with the gun so that no more insulation melts than necessary.

Well, the cable probably doesn’t do anything, the question is just how long it lasts. If you pick up the wallpaper or the plaster, nothing is won. I would rather get cable clamps (see picture), gives in different colors matching the wall, holds and does not harm the cable guaranteed.

Things are available in every building market and are probably even cheaper than the hot glue. A large online retailer has 500 pieces for 9 € assortment.

When you renovate, it’s easier to sweep the small holes of the nails than to rewind the hot glue if it lasts so long. Because either it doesn’t hold, then the action was pointless, or it keeps so good that you have problems afterwards.

The cable does little because the hot glue is less than 200 degrees hot and quickly cools. I would rather worry that the whole construction with the plaster / wallpaper falls from the wall and leaves corresponding traces behind. The best tip here are really the cable channels – with a bit of skill and a little puk bags you get them. Easy to fix and ready.

Hi.

You can do that. I did this down at the footbar. It doesn’t keep too extreme. Put a point at a time.

The cable doesn’t do anything.

At the footbar, yes, you could talk about it. But on the wall?

So or so, really chic isn’t that and there aren’t special tools like cuffs or cable channels for free

In the case of the clamps, make sure that you buy the two numbers smaller than in the case of shoes, but so that the cable is comfortable.

Cable channel would then be my choice. The cuffs are really ugly. There are also div DIY tips with cable ties.

There is no reason not to take hot glue when you long it down, has always worked well

They’re not pretty, I’m right to you. But better than IMO unfit attempts with hot glue they are all times. And if it should be over the door frame, maybe easier to process than cable channels.

But yes, if you have the possibilities, then channels. Then, and finally, no hot glue 🙂

The cable shouldn’t do that. Only depending on what’s on your wall, it can be that it doesn’t hold, e.g. that the hot glue doesn’t stick to the plaster or comes with wallpaper from the wall.

Better be nail cuffs.

If the cable hangs openly on the wall, you can do in the cellar, but in the living room I wouldn’t want that. Cable Channels (which can be rowed to each other, can be built over corner (45° chamfer or bump on bump and cut a small cut) in the corners, directly over the footbars or directly under the ceiling, or even new footbars with built-in cable channels look much more elegant and is also a bit more gentle for the cable (wall clasps work, but could possibly. but squeeze, hot glue shouldn’t mind him, but maybe already, and if you stick to the cable while cleaning, it’s not great, in the cable duct it is protected.

It’ll go. Looks modest and is not easy to change. If you have wallpaper on the wall, it’s up. With some other background, I would have doubts that this holds.

I’d rather work with cable channels or cable clamps.

Hello,

No, no, no, no.

It doesn’t last long, and the ridge is forever “saw”.

Take a small self-adhesive cable duct,

from the construction market.

Or simply cable clamps or cable clamps.

You can do it, but you shouldn’t.

I use cable channels for such cases that you can buy in any building market. I attach these cable channels to the wall with plugs and screws. The cables then disappear into these cable channels and can be easily removed again at any time.

If it’s possible, I’d put the cable behind the baseboard.

No elegant solution, but feasible
