The adhesive strip on the Cordmate II raceway should be mounted to clean, dry, grease-free, smooth surfaces. Concrete walls usually are rough and somewhat textured so I don't believe the adhesive strip will hold very well. In such applications, you can install the raceway to the wall using #8 (5/16" head size) pan head fasteners.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.3m two sided adhesive tape would hold it. You could buy the lighter weight 3m two sided adhesive tape or the heavier weight 3m two sided adhesive tape. Depending on how much weight with the wires included. If it's just a few wires the lighter weight should do it but when I buy my 3m two sided adhesive tape, I always buy the heavier weight that way I'm covered. The 3m two sided adhesive tape packaging will list the weight that it is capable of safely holding. Just a warning this question says concrete walls, If you use 3m two sided adhesive tape on plaster, dry wall, or a painted surface be careful when removing. It's a very strong product and if you don't heat it up or use something to get in behind the tape it could/will damage some of your plaster, drywall, or your painted surface(s) but hey you want a product that's going to hold. I've never had it damage anything because I've always followed what I said above but even so with these steps followed it could still do some small damage.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Should work. I used on my chimney made of brick and it's holding on pretty good.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The double-sided tape provided may be a little light-duty, but adding a more robust tape will help it last on the concrete so that the cover would work well for covering wire on the concrete walls
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This particular one should serve your purposes. Deep and wide enough for perhaps five Ethernet lines. Since it uses a sticky adhesive pad it should work fine on your concrete wall, no screws or drilling needed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes and no. Yea it will stick but only if you seal the path of concrete you wish it to lay on. This is more of a lowe's/Home Depot/ace question. It's like asking if it will stick to a sand dune. Yes it will but if the loose particles underneath move, so will the strip.
