Improved Modular 4040 Profile Cable Clip
Print Profile(1)

Description
Updated 27/12/2024 :
I wanted to make sure that these clips work in both orientations and on horizontal and vertical profiles, so I've created a horizontal bottom (old one is renamed to vertical)
This will allow for the creation of various attachments to be able to clip in without any additional tooling and allow things to be moved without too much hassle. Stay tuned!
TL:DR patch notes
- increased widths of clips to 15.5mm
- created a “horizontal” bottom clip, to allow for horizontal and vertical orientations
- added a headphone hook attachment
Very simple, reusable, modular cable management for 4040 aluminum profile typically used for industrial racking, or in my use case a sim rig.
The bottom clip slots into the grooves of the profile, you then rotate it by 90 degrees. It will be a tight fit so that it doesn't move especially when added onto uprights.
The design comes with 3 different clip styles:
- normal clip, suited for normal USB or display cables of 7.5mm diameter
- 3x 7.5mm cables for a neater arrangement
- trunk clip, suited for a high volume of cables, i use this with cable trunking to keep things neat. 15mm diameter.
The clip itself is 36mm wide so that it doesn't quite reach the edges of a 4040 profile extrusion. Internally the width is 25mm on the normal and trunk clips.
Based on feedback of my original clip:

and consolidating my less popular trunk clip:

this version brings the following improvements requested by the community:
- wider so greater friction against the profile which should keep it in place on vertical slots
- also because it has extra width, this helps with installation as now only the bottom of the clip will end up in the slot!
- common base, swappable tops means you have far more versatility
- stronger clip, I can pick up a 60cm 8040 profile (pictured) holding onto the top of the clip
If you have any requests for different tops - feel free to drop a comment!
