Expert Review and Insights
The COBA CablePro is one of those brilliantly simple bits of kit every business should have on hand. It’s not flashy, but it excels at its one job: preventing accidents. The PVC is surprisingly tough and handles the daily grind of a busy environment well, while the pre-split base makes installation a doddle. It's a non-negotiable for basic health and safety compliance.
Daniel Foster – Maintenance Expert View Profile →
- Pro: Built to Last. The PVC is robust enough for high-traffic areas without cracking or splitting.
- Con: Best for Flat Surfaces. It can shift slightly on uneven floors or deep-pile carpets.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Iron Kettle, a popular community café in Stirling, Scotland, had a constant issue with extension leads running from the wall sockets to their countertop coffee grinders and fridges. This created a trip hazard for staff moving between the counter and the kitchen.
"We were always conscious of the cables on the floor. The COBA protector sorted it in five minutes. It's tough, stays put, and the yellow stripes mean you just can't miss it. It’s a proper, professional fix."
Ben Carter – Café Owner
The café successfully eliminated a key daily trip hazard, improving staff safety and passing their recent environmental health inspection with flying colours.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- When it arrives, unroll the protector and let it sit at room temperature for an hour to flatten out completely.
- Make sure the floor surface is clean and dry before you lay it down to ensure the best grip.
- Carefully push your cables into the pre-slit channel on the underside of the cover.
- Position the cover over your cable run, pressing down firmly to ensure it sits flat without any kinks.
Keeping It Going
- Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth and a mild detergent to remove any dirt or scuff marks.
- Avoid using harsh, abrasive chemicals or scouring pads, as this could dull the bright yellow safety stripes.
- Periodically check that the cover hasn't shifted away from the cables, especially in very high-traffic areas.
- Store it rolled up (not folded) in a dry place when not in use to maintain its shape.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I cut this cable protector to a shorter length?
A: Yes, the PVC material is designed to be cut if needed. Use a sharp utility knife and a straight edge for a clean, safe cut.
Q: Is it suitable for use on carpets?
A: It works best on hard, flat surfaces like wood, tile, or vinyl. On deep-pile carpet, it may shift slightly over time with heavy traffic.
Q: How many standard UK power cables can it hold?
A: It can comfortably house two to three standard 13-amp power leads, or a mix of thinner data and phone cables.
Q: Will it slip and slide on a polished floor?
A: The material offers good grip on clean, dry floors. For highly polished surfaces, you can use double-sided floor tape on the underside for extra security if required.
Q: Can a wheelchair or trolley roll over it easily?
A: Absolutely. The sloped, low-profile design allows light-wheeled traffic like office chairs, trolleys, and wheelchairs to pass over it without a problem.
Q: Is the material flexible?
A: Yes, it is flexible enough to lay flat and follow very slight contours in the floor, but rigid enough to provide excellent protection for the cables inside.
Q: Is this a commercial floor cable protector?
A: Yes, this COBA CablePro GP FA105 is specifically designed for the demands of commercial, industrial, and public environments.
Q: How do you insert the cables?
A: The protector has a pre-split channel on the bottom. You simply push the cables up into the cavity from underneath.

Explore more from CobaWhy Bright Yellow Stripes Make a Real Difference
You might wonder why the bright yellow stripes on this cable cover are so important – it's more than just a design choice. This feature is rooted in health and safety science. The high-contrast black and yellow combination is a universally recognised signal for a potential hazard, instinctively drawing the eye and alerting people to a change in the floor level.
Think of it like a mini, personal high-vis jacket for your floor. While the cover's main job is to contain the cables and prevent direct trips, the stripes work to stop someone from stumbling over the cover itself. It’s a passive safety system that works 24/7, making your floor safer without you having to think about it. It turns a simple cable tidy into a proactive piece of safety equipment.
Who Should Buy This?
- Pubs & Bars: Keep the cables for tills, sound systems, and lighting safely tucked away from customer walkways.
- Event Organisers: An essential for temporary setups in marquees and halls to safely manage power and audio leads.
- Offices & Receptions: Tidy up computer, printer, and phone cables for a professional look and a safer workspace.
- Workshops & Garages: Protect heavy-duty power tool cords from being damaged or creating a dangerous obstacle on the floor.
