Cable Ties
Cable ties come in different sizes, colors, and materials. Being low in cost, cable ties can be commonly found in most applications that require bundling a bunch of cables or wires together.
Depending on the usage and the way the cable tie has been tightened, it can be cut off or reused.
How to use a cable tie
- Insert the tip with the teeth / jagged part into the head of the cable tie.
- The teeth of the cable tie will be locked while you pull the cable tie towards the head
- If the tie did not manage to lock, re-do and turn over the cable tie to its right direction
- If you do not intend to re-use the tie, you may cut off the end for a neater look.
Examples of different cable ties
- Coloured cable ties are mainly used for identifying cable groups.
- Marker ties can be written on to identify what the cable tie is holding on for.
- Releasable cable ties are on a pricey end as compared to the normal ones as they can be re-used multiple times.
Types of Cable sizes:
Cable ties, also known as zip ties or wire ties, are versatile fastening devices used to secure and organize cables and wires. They come in various sizes to accommodate different applications. The size of a cable tie is determined by its length and width, and it is usually specified in inches or millimeters. When selecting cable ties, it is essential to consider the diameter of the cables or wires to be bundled, the weight they need to support, and the environmental conditions of the application. Using the right size of cable tie ensures proper bundling, prevents damage to cables, and provides a secure and organized solution for cable management.
Following are common materials used for cable ties:
- Nylon (Polyamide): Nylon is the most widely used material for cable ties. It is known for its excellent strength, durability, and resistance to abrasion.
- Stainless Steel: Stainless steel cable ties are used in applications that require exceptional strength and resistance to corrosion, extreme temperatures, and chemicals. They are often employed in harsh environments, such as marine, oil and gas, or chemical industries.
- Plenum-Rated Nylon: Plenum-rated cable ties are designed for use in plenum spaces, which are areas in buildings used for air circulation in HVAC systems.
- Polypropylene: Polypropylene cable ties are known for their flexibility and resistance to chemicals. They are commonly used in applications where chemical resistance is essential, such as in laboratories or chemical processing plants.
- Polyester (PET): Polyester cable ties offer good resistance to UV radiation and are suitable for outdoor applications where exposure to sunlight is a concern. They are also known for their high tensile strength.
- They are made from nylon or polyester and have a hook side and a loop side that fasten together. They are reusable and ideal for applications that require frequent adjustments or restraints.
The choice of material depends on the specific requirements of the application. Factors such as the environment (indoor or outdoor), temperature range, exposure to UV radiation, chemical exposure, and required tensile strength play a crucial role in selecting the appropriate material for cable ties.
