A Cable Tie is a tool used to bind and secure wires, cables or other equipment. It is usually made of nylon or other strong material and has a strip-like structure and a perforated head. When in use, wrap the cable strap around the object that needs to be restrained, and tighten it through the strap hole on the head to form a fixation. Cable Ties are corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and durable, and are widely used in electrical, communications, automotive and other fields. They are easy to use and can effectively organize and manage wires and cables, improve work efficiency, and keep equipment tidy and safe.

2.Operatingtemperature:-40℃~85℃CColor: standard color (white), and black anti ultraviolet, special colors are welcometo make to order.
Dimension
Materials and Properties
Cable Tie is usually made of high-strength Nylon 66 (Nylon 66) or other engineering plastics, this material has excellent mechanical properties, as shown in the following:
1. High tensile strength: able to withstand large tensile force, suitable for bundling heavy objects or multiple cables.
2. Weathering and corrosion resistance: able to resist ultraviolet rays, oxidation and chemical corrosion, suitable for a variety of indoor and outdoor environments.
3. High and low temperature resistance: Nylon cable ties can usually work normally in the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, and special material ties can even withstand more extreme temperatures.
In addition, some Cable Tie also has flame retardant properties, which meets UL 94V-2 fire standard, and is suitable for places with special requirements for fire protection.
Design Features
Cable Tie has a simple but powerful design, which mainly includes the following structures:
1. Self-locking design: The head of Cable Tie is equipped with an integrated latch, which automatically locks when the tail end is inserted to ensure a strong bundle. The latch is usually toothed to prevent loosening and slipping.
2. Flexibility and Extensibility: The flexibility of the nylon material allows the cable tie to easily wrap around the cable or surface of the object, providing a solid bundle that is not prone to breakage during tightening.
3. Smooth Surface Finish: The smooth surface of the cable tie prevents scratching the cable or user's hand, while maintaining a neat appearance after bundling.
Application Scenarios
Cable Tie is used in a wide range of applications, from daily household use to demanding industrial environments:
1. Electrical installation and cable management: for bundling wires, cables and pipes, organizing cables to ensure neatness and order, and reducing the risk of cable kinking and fraying.
2. Industrial and construction work: Used on construction sites or in industrial environments, Cable Tie is used to bundle and secure pipes, ventilation ducts, rebar or scaffolding, able to withstand high strength and harsh environments.
3. Household and daily applications: In the home, Cable Tie is commonly used to tie up various items, such as gardening utensils, furniture, luggage or other items that need to be fixed.
4. Automotive and Aviation: Used for bundling automotive wiring harnesses, pipes and electronic components, the high temperature resistance makes it suitable for engine compartments and other high temperature environments.
Specifications and Types
Cable Tie is available in a variety of lengths, widths and color options to meet different needs:
1. Length: Common lengths range from 4 inches (100mm) to 36 inches (900mm), with longer ties suitable for bundling large items or a large number of cables.
2. Width: Common widths range from 2.5mm to 12mm, with wider ties providing more binding force.
3.Color: Common colors include black, white, natural, red, blue, etc. The choice of color can be matched according to application scenarios and needs, such as black nylon cable ties usually have better UV resistance and are suitable for outdoor use.
Special type:
1. Loose Cable Tie: This type of tie has a design that can be unlocked for easy reuse, suitable for scenarios that require temporary fixing or frequent adjustments.
2.Marking Tie: With marking area, suitable for application scenarios where cables or items need to be marked, such as distribution boxes or network cabling.
3. Stainless steel cable ties: suitable for extreme high temperature or highly corrosive environments, such as marine engineering or petrochemical.
Precautions for use
When using Cable Tie, the following points need to be noted:
1. Avoid over-tightening: Over-tightening may result in damage to cables or other items. It is recommended to use professional tools such as a tie gun for tightening to ensure proper bundling strength.
2. Choose appropriate specifications: According to the size and strength requirements of the bundled items, choose ties of appropriate length and width to avoid loosening or breaking due to incompatible specifications.
3. Regular inspection and replacement: In long-term use, especially outdoors or in harsh environments, Cable Tie may lose its effectiveness due to aging or wear and tear, so it is recommended to regularly inspect and replace damaged ties to ensure the safety of bundling.
