OT: What's It Called

Can't remember the name, but Pomona makes 'em and Jensen sells 'em. Probably "lead rack" or some such. Mine came from when we were very cash-poor -- they're little bits of toaster oven tray, cut out and screwed to the wall.

Thanks! Found them ["test lead rack"] on Jensen and ordered.

Yep. Just ordered three.

I used something, I think it was called panduit. It was intended as a way to route wires through a plastic, slotted, channel with a cover. Turned out to be a cheap solution for test leads, and HPLC columns, and special glassware in the lab I worked at.

This what you wanted?'

Try Nine Inch Nails. They sounde better.

You're going to have to wade through hundreds of p*rn sites if you Google that.

But then maybe that's the idea.

Coat hook? Hat pin? I hang mine on 6 inch nails driven into a piece of barn rafter 3 x 3.

Hmmm. Sounds like a British thing ! ;-)

We currently use coat hooks.

We did use 6 inch nails once.

Not as practical as nails IMHO ! ;-)

Hard disk drive magnets work great for holding test leads with alli clips, as long as they're not pure copper or brass. And they'll hold a number of other things as well, as long as there's some steel in them.

Was it that obvious ?

Not only. Also BNC, N, UHF, C, IEC 60169-2. Not RG6, of course.

That's why I ordered three. (I'm on a neatness kick, or rather operating under such an advisory from the management :-)

You should be more specific.

As in: "The flat, rare earth magnets that make up the head actuator "motor" of most modern hard drives..."

Most contain two, not counting the spindle motor components.

I have hard drive actuator magnets that compete with those found in microwave ovens, from the old full height days! One does not want to be near any CRTs when around these HD magnets OR the MW oven magnets in particular when they aren't looped.

RG6 would fit onto the pomona racks I have used recently...
