5. You can remove cables easily if ever you are shifting house. It would be hard to open cheap plastic cable holders and there are sometimes when you will have to cut them with a cutter but these paper clips are strong and won't do any harm to your cables. See Fig 6 below.

Useful Tips!

1. You can use colored paper clips which will blend well with your desk.

2. Choose bigger paper clips to avoid damage to your cables.

Warnings!

1. Metal clips should not be used for power cables because there is a risk that the edges of the clip may damage the insulation which will eventually result in fire, electrocution, loss of life and property.
2. Use "Velcro Plant Ties" as they are more safer to use for power cables.
3. To avoid your fingers being crushed by the paper clip, keep it out of the way when releasing the handle.
