Platinum Tools 2" Side Mount Magnet HPH J-Hook, White — Box of 10
Efficiently organize and manage low-voltage cables with the Platinum Tools 2" Side Mount Magnet HPH J-Hook in a clean white finish. Designed for quick, safe installations in temporary setups, these J-hooks use super-strong rare earth magnets to secure cables to ferrous surfaces without drilling, screws, or messy tape. The 2" side-mount design creates a generous bend radius that protects cables from kinks and damage, while keeping runs tidy and accessible for maintenance, testing, or route adjustments. Sold as a box of 10, they’re ideal for contractors, AV teams, rental events, and facilities that need fast mobilization and effortless reconfiguration. These magnetic J-hooks deliver reliable hold, simple repositioning, and a discreet look that blends with most data, power, and control cabling environments.
- Strong magnet hold: Built-in rare-earth magnets provide a secure, reusable mounting option on ferrous surfaces, enabling quick placement and removal without tools or damage to cables.
- 2" side-mount design: The 2-inch side-mounted profile offers flexible placement along equipment racks, panels, and metal studs, giving installers more routing options in tight spaces.
- Wide bend radius: The HPH J-hook is engineered to maintain a generous bend radius, protecting cable jackets from crimping and reducing wear over time.
- White finish for visibility and aesthetics: The clean white color blends with white-wall data rooms, ceilings, and AV setups while staying unobtrusive during temporary installations.
- Value-packed box of 10: Perfect for multi-cable runs, staging areas, or quick replacements, ensuring you always have spares on hand for ongoing projects and maintenance work.

How to install Platinum Tools 2" Side Mount Magnet HPH J-Hook
Install in minutes with no tools required. Start by selecting a clean, dry ferrous surface where you need to run cables. Test the magnet’s holding force on a loose, inconspicuous area to ensure the surface is free of dust, oil, or debris that could reduce adhesion. Position the J-hook so the cable route aligns with your planned path, keeping the bend radius generous to minimize strain on the cables. Gently press the J-hook against the metal surface to engage the rare-earth magnets, then route your low-voltage cables along the hook, ensuring there is no pinching or excessive bending. If you need to reposition, simply pull the hook away and reattach at a new location. For longer cable runs or heavier load, distribute the weight evenly across multiple J-hooks to maintain balanced tension and avoid sag over time. Remember that the magnets perform best on solid metal surfaces; for fragile or coated surfaces, test holds and consider an alternative mounting method to avoid surface damage.
To optimize organization, plan your cable routes by grouping related lines (power, data, and control) and placing J-hooks at consistent intervals. This makes maintenance checks faster and reduces the risk of accidental disconnections. If you’re working in an environment with vibration or movement—such as a mobile command center or a showroom floor—recheck the hold periodically, especially during the initial installation phase. If you’re dealing with long-term exposure to heat, moisture, or corrosive atmospheres, inspect the J-hooks regularly for signs of wear and replace as needed to maintain reliable performance. With the right placement and routine checks, these magnetic J-hooks become a dependable, reusable solution for temporary cable management that saves time and protects cables from damage.
Frequently asked questions
- Q: Can I use these on any metal surface? A: These J-hooks rely on the presence of a ferrous (magnetic) surface for best performance. They will not attach strongly to non-magnetic surfaces like plastic, wood, or aluminum without an alternative mounting method. For ferrous environments such as steel racks, cabinets, or painted metal surfaces, they provide quick and reliable holding power. Always test the holding force in your specific setup before routing critical cables.
- Q: How many cables can a single 2" J-hook support? A: The hold provided by the magnet is independent of the number of cables, but the practical capacity depends on the cumulative weight and flexibility of the cables, plus the surface area exposed to the magnet. For typical low-voltage cable bundles (power and data), one J-hook can securely hold several small-diameter cables in a neat, organized path. If you’re routing heavier or larger bundles, distribute the load across multiple hooks to maintain secure hold and prevent sag.
- Q: Is this product suitable for outdoor use? A: The description is geared toward indoor or controlled-temp temporary installations where magnetic mounting is practical. If you plan to use them outdoors, consider environmental exposure and confirm that the magnet material and plastic housing can withstand weather conditions or seek manufacturer guidance for outdoor-rated configurations.
- Q: Are these reusable? A: Yes. The magnets allow for easy repositioning or removal without damaging the cables or mounting surface. This makes them ideal for dynamic setups, project-based installations, and scenarios where layouts may change between events or over the life of a facility.
- Q: Do I need any special tools to install? A: No tools are required. The magnets engage directly with ferrous surfaces, enabling quick placements in minutes. If you decide to modify layouts or re-route cables, simply pull the hook away and reposition where needed.
- Q: How do I ensure cable protection with these hooks? A: The J-hook is designed with a wide bend radius to minimize bending stress on cables. Properly route cables along the hook so that there’s no sharp turn or pinch point, and avoid routing heavy cables through narrow gaps where the jacket could experience strain. Regularly inspect the cables for signs of wear and re-route if you notice any strain or deformation.
