Cable Tie

A cable tie is a strip with a ratchet head that loops around cables or pipes and locks to hold them together. It is used for bundling and fixing in electrical, plumbing and general trade work.

A cable tie bundles cables and wires together. It often takes a mount or a drilled hole, and a tool tensions and cuts the tail.

Cable ties are often made in nylon, which gives flexibility and resistance to everyday wear. Some are made in other plastics for outdoor or high temperature use.

This is a general guide to checking this kind of part. It says nothing about any supplier's parts.

Ask for a certificate of conformance if the job needs traceability. On receipt, check the locking teeth engage and the strap does not slip under hand tension.
